The discovery of a well-preserved copy of the Town Crier from July 17, 1984 is a true blast from the past. The newspaper was unearthed by Sue Byford in the archives of the family firm which operates Bonnie Byford Real Estate at 1536 Bayview Ave. The big news is splashed across the top of page one. Four homes are being considered for heritage status. We know them well. They are 201 Sutherland, 33 Heather, 322 Sutherland and 262 Bessborough. (33 Heather is still not officially listed and is for sale for $3.95 million in 2012). Also big news on July 17, 1984, an agreement to build a two level parking garage in the proposed Canada Trust (now TD Canada Trust) on the southeast corner of Millwood and Bayview. Still above the fold, a story that business is tough for Bayview merchants. Those hard-working folks had a recession to deal with. Other pages in the July 17, 1984 Town Crier tell the inspiring story of Leaside High School student John Gosling of Hanna Road who graduated from Grade 13 with an average of 98.7%. Where is John Gosling now? In the back of the paper was an ad for Kuzins BBQ Chicken Restaurant, 1213 Bayview at Moore, where the Hasty Mart is now located. You could get a nice businessman’s lunch for $4.99. Pdf of 1984 Town Crier
