A few of the establishments visible in the archive photo on the left side include the Hong Kong Chop Suey Cafeteria, the Hong Kong Emporium novelty shop, Lindy’s Restaurant, Lynn Gold Clothes men’s wear, the Odeon Coronet Theatre, and Bassel’s Restaurant & Tavern. The vintage photo also shows when Hayter St intersected with Yonge St.
