Here we see the empty corner of Bayview and Moore Ave. in a photo from 1955 looking west. There was no apartment building on the as-yet uncreated southwest corner because the streets formed a T-junction. The Bayview extension was begun in 1959 and took Bayview snaking into the valley. The Petro Canada station was a Supertest fill-up next door to someone’s home. Signage suggests the northwest corner held a Shell station.
Nor was there a Loblaws in 1955 but we can show you the smaller Loblaws store (2009) which had a nice covered walk along the east side. That would be handy for today’s C-19 lineups. Below is the expanded Loblaws, completed in 2010.
