"What's the future ever done for me?"
Looking west across John Street in the early 1960's. Farb's car wash on the N/W corner was knocked down in the early 90's and the site remained a parking lot until the Bell Lightbox was built last year. Note the neon sign.
Last year during construction.
The N/W corner of King and John at the turn of the century, The Arlington Hotel was located here.
This shot from the early 1960's shows Farb's Car Wash has replaced the hotel.
King Street in the winter of 1961 looking west from John Farb's Car Wash ("The World's Finest") is on the right. A closer look at the south side reveals Authors and Cox sellers of medical trusses (hernia belts) crutches, supporters and invalid chairs. Behind, peaking out is a sign for Wilcox Signs, still in business and now located on Dundas near Dufferin.
The same view in 2010
