The Daily Photoist: October 16, 2009

Every weekday morning, bright and early, we feature a photo or (two) from a photographer in Torontoist's Flickr Pool, our way of showing off their great work and starting the day off as prettily as possible.

What a beautiful scene!
It would be nice to know when the shot was taken, sometime after 1945 by Elis Wiley, but that's about all the Toronto Archives info tells us....

Yeah that's a great old photo!
Very nice to see the original Toronto Star building peeking out. I wish I could have seen that in person but sadly it was torn down before my time :(

that archive is great!
so many cool street shots from the 60s and 70s.

Wow, took me a second to realize it was the same location. Amazing!
