Looking northeast towards Bloor St W between Spadina Ave/Rd and Madison Ave in The Annex neighbourhood of Toronto.
The archive photo features several establishments along Bloor St W, arranged from left to right as follows: The Bank of Nova Scotia, Varsity Restaurant, N & N Super Market, Varsity Books, Pizza Pizza, Empire Boutique clothing & gifts, Meyers Cigar Store and Sam’s Gas Bar.
Today, Scotiabank remains at the corner; however, there are plans to construct a 36-storey mixed-use building on the block.
