Then. King Street and Leader Lane. Leader Lane is on the right. Circa 1920?

Now. September 2012. Well, there's a survivor back there; the white and brown building, which can 'just' be glimpsed in the Then picture on the far right. Also survivors are the red brick buildings seen in the distance —that's Colborne Street. Colborne Street is a bit of a contemplative spot for me; very 19th century and next to no car traffic. I'll polish off an espresso while leaning against a lamp post there. It could use a sidewalk cafe.  Someone should open one.
