Yonge Street in the 1960's

People liked to buy records in the 1960's.
Yet another example of why the 1960's were better.....
Cool cars, cool signs and the Beatles.
Vintage postcards courtesy of Chuckman's.
Have a look now....

Yonge and Elm/Then and Now

A great photo from the archives looking south down Yonge from Elm in 1950 as the subway construction works it's way north.(Note the crane in the background and Steele's Tavern on the left.)2010 and we can see the collapsed wall of the old Edison Hotel at the corner of Gould.

Yonge and Elm/Then and Now

This shot (probably from the mid 80's) shows how vibrant this intersection used to be for music shoppers. The Thriffty's store occupies the former site of Steele's Tavern. The silver car in the foreground is a fairly rare Citroen SM (Maserati) built between 1979-1975.
Now a desolate pit.
