It’s 2022 and there’s no better evidence of that than the photo at upper left of the nearly finished Leaside LRT station on the southeast corner of Bayview Ave and Eglinton Ave. You used to eat Big Macs above it. Then at upper right is a fun reminder from the past on the Mount Pleasant Village BIA Facebook page. That’s the Bank of Toronto building at Mt. Pleasant and Belsize Drive. Looks like parade day. Bank of Toronto merged with the Dominion Bank in 1955. Below that are some happy yellow roses seen at Longo’s. They convey friendship, it’s said. Further down we see a diagram of the proposed triangular condo on Pape Ave smack up against the Metrolinx rail line. It comes with a 4.4 metre high “crash wall”. Hmm. Finally, decades of memories will be all that’s left as this noble maple on Randolph Rd north of Millwood Rd. comes down.
