Toronto in 1935

In the first minute is the junction of Danforth avenue and Broadview avenue, the pillared bank on the corner is still a bank. Immediately after that is the junction of Queen st, King st and Roncesvalles avenue. Roncesvalles is on the left, Queen is straight ahead, King is to the right. I live on Roncey about 4 blocks from there. All of the buildings that you see there still exist. the bank is a Mexican restaurant, the building across the street is a Greek restaurant. In fact, most all of the buildings you see in the film are still there. One of the side-wheel ferries (the Trillium) still runs on special occasions but its an oil burner since its restoration 50 years ago.
