Hello,

What an insipid street is this!

Have a wonderfu lday.

Hey Chris, thanks for the writing!
Cool photo! Nice history, the street has no trees at all and barely any people walking? Interesting...

Nice day:)

Nice impressions... have a nice day!!
and happy trails!

that's what the village I come from start looking like lately.....used to have trees on both sides of the street and branches were touching the other tree's branches....all of them trees cut down now......

A ghost town, you grew up in!! Tell me, what is the fourth colour on that traffic light? Blue??

After two days with rain I finally went into town today. But, as soon as I sat on my bike, it started again... :(((

hugs, ERwin

"Believe it or not, this is the place." So says the sign. And for many, I suppose it was, but you got out. Good on ya. Bests, Paul (who ain't doin' no rakin' in the rain).

Memories , well a ghost town! Better to be out of a place like this :-) And ......don't look back !
Best wishes

So bleakness didn't really change a lot in 40 years time ... did you put a great geographical distance between yourself and this scene, or rather a mental one?

Like ERwin, I wonder about the fourth color. But I think it's an extra red one on top, not blue!

Ciao,

Hi Chris!
Nice Photo, though bleak.
Interesting to read your nice writings of your memories. Amazing how times have changed. Hope your week is going well! take care!

Hi Chris..I'm back !! (Mary). Hope all is well

Dundas always seems to be the street that Christopher Hume forgot. But it is getting interesting in places. The shift of retailing to the suburbs has weakened traditional retail strips such as Dundas, but restuarants and services have begun to replace them. The smart money to be made in gentrification is in places like these.

It does have the look of a street that was run down probably when it was first built let alone now - half expect one of those god awful wee square, flat-roofed Moe's Tavern type bars on it :-)

Yeah, the immigration topic is hot here just now. Obviously there are folks who are working a flanker and abusing the system but the far right scumbags are doing what they always do and whipping it up and telling folks their taxes are higher to pay for them and their jobs have all gone to immigrants etc, which is cobblers, but folks in a depression want someone to blame and these right wing bigots thrive on this stuff.

The street looks as if it could tell some stories :))

I love this kind of construction.....and Toronto waterfront is much more beautiful than The Pearl......
I've benn ther three times,I guess.

Hugs.
