Looking north along Yonge St from Shuter St in the Downtown Yonge area of Toronto.
A few of the establishments in the archive photo on the east side of Yonge St include Muirhead Cafeteria, Kern’s Dress Shops, Parker Jewellers, Maclean’s Linens, and, in the distance, the Imperial Theatre. The old photo also showcases the decorations for King George VI and Queen Elizabeth’s visit, as well as the streetcars that once travelled along Yonge St.
