Skyline Restaurant / Parkdale

The Skyline Restaurant in Parkdale is one of my favourite "Diners" in the city.
It has a great neon sign, the interior has lots of period details and it's kept spotless.
Highly recommended: cheeseburger and onion rings (the best in the city) or
open face roast beef sandwich (Mat's favourite).

Even the back room is nice...for a private party.

Dundas and Sorauren/ Then and Now

Dundas Street West looking west across to top of Sorauren Avenue in the
the 1930's. At this time the streetcar tracks had a dedicated side of the bridge as
seen on the left hand side of the photo.A similar view in 1969.

A similar vantage point in 2010.
Have you noticed how many ads there are for Sweet Caporal Tobacco?
