In respnse to this previous post I dug out some old images of that skyline you'll get onto (if you live there for a while). Most of these are pretty old so they don't have the CN Tower in them. How old? Older that bagged milk... but not older than The Beer Store...

Older than the New Toronto City Hall...

Older than the Skydome... or Exhibition Stadium or the Blue Jays for that matter...

Older than the extra wing on the Royal York Hotel

Which can be seen in this shot...

So old the tallest building in all of Canada was the lovely Bank of Commerce...

...which was the model for my city's tallest building...

and could be seen from the Great Lakes ore boats that used to dock at the foot of Yonge Street...

So old the Toronto Dominion Bank complex had yet to be built...

Well not in this one... Admiral TVs... the Montgomery Ward house brand in the 90s...

Or this one... there goes everyone's TV reception...

Or this one... Miesian perfection there, eh?

This one is at least as old as I am... but no giant TV antennae with an observation deck in the shot...

Couldn't do this post without at least one with the CN Tower poking into the shot...
