Some things don’t change at Eglinton and Petman

Click

Oh sure, 82 years can change a lot of things in a  City like Toronto, but much can remain the same. And so it is at the corner of Eglinton Ave. E. and Petman Ave. where, looking south south east, we find the original building (left) still there and still doing business similar to Mac’s.  Mr. Button’s place was a 1930s sort of convenience store. The sign reads “Candy, Ice Cream, Cigarettes, Tobacco”.  The vacant lot of then is a parking lot of today and down Petman on the east side can be seen the well cared for home known as 81 Petman. The barn behind it is gone however. What a surprise.
