This photo from the archives typifies my impression of downtown Toronto in the early 1970's. That was when I first started to venture downtown on my own, much rougher and darker than it is today. There were definitely some "bad" areas, Moss Park, Queen and Sherbourne, Queen West around the Mental Institution, Parkdale etc. These neigbourhoods have for the most part all been cleaned up and gentrified in recent years.
