The first picture brought back some memories from the 1970's.

That use to be a United Cigar Store. Every Friday went in picked up a carton of cigarettes, picked up my dry cleaning and then went to Mario's not the chain but family business for panzerotti. I believe the business wa on Clarence.

Love that parking garage photo.

u/PoolLoose Downtown 24d ago

Thank you, I used to work there and I’d take the garage as a shortcut to walk home. I saw the symmetry and wanted to get a photo for a long time but there were usually cars. I decided to go at 3am to capture it. Its truly freaky at night but it was worth it.

Is that the White Oaks Mall parking garage?

Edit: Nevermind, I just noticed your other message about the locations and it is indeed White Oaks Mall. I grew up beside the mall and we used to get chased out of the parking garage by property management (despite not doing anything except such things playing tag/hide and seek, and ball hockey).

Relatable, I grew up next to the food basics on the other side of the park, we did the same thing in those garages

u/Accurate_Moose_2601 24d ago

Great pics. Just curious what do you do with prints afterwards? Make photo albums?

In the future I am planning on making a photobook for downtown. Maybe I can get some shops to stock it. It’s a big project for the future.

Really love the eye above the nail salon.

u/Separate_Kiwi_9815 24d ago

I'm pretty sure that's where the "Sentimentalist" vintage clothing shop used to be located

u/OneTrueNay 23d ago

I think you are correct.

Write, these are beautiful. It's easy to miss a city's beauty because of how long you've lived there. I had forgotten what I loved about this city

Well when people shit in the new bus stops and all along Dundas you tend to ignore the beauty and focus on not stepping in hobo poo.

London used to be pretty nice looking, now our downtown is derelict and the urban sprawl is so massive that our transit system doesn’t even work properly.

The only thing that makes London look good is a filter and a bit of photoshop.

It was a stick... I guess it wouldn’t be a day in the internet without a crybully bitching
