Looking north along Spadina Ave from just south of Oxford St in the Kensington Market neighbourhood of Toronto.
Some of the establishments in the archive photo from the left foreground to south of College St include the Budapest Fruit & Grocery, D. Goodman & Sons (hardware), Spadina Car Wash, Famous Dairy Restaurant & Bakery, International Steam Bath and El Mocambo Tavern.
While the shops in the storefronts have changed over the past 50 years, El Mocambo Tavern remains a longstanding presence in the area.
