Interesting - was the Queen subway an actual underground subway or was it an above ground tram? I've seen the sign/name and blocked entrance that's still on the Dufferin bridge to this day - its always puzzled me.]]>

Not insanely.  I rented a 1 brd on Jameson 18 years ago for 600 all inclusive.  The same is now going for 750-850 thereabouts based on what I was looking at recently.  Maybe in the 900's.  Still not horrible.  ]]>

"During its short-lived term as a town unto itself, its relationship with the city proper was defined by a sort of urban/suburban tension whereby commuters were criticized for the daily use of city services and infrastructure that they ultimately had no hand in paying for"

Huh, well would you look at that. Sound familiar? One of the constant complaints about 905ers using city services and not paying property taxes to help pay for those services. Good to see nothing has changed in 100 years.]]>

Well, there's the one going up at Queen & Dufferin (which I would really love to buy or at least rent into), plus those two on the other side of the tracks at Gladstone, Sudbury Street also came right up to Queen there at Gladstone as well, bringing more condos up, and they're starting to show up along King just west of Dufferin.  But I don't see Parkdale being turned into antoher Liberty Village per say, although we'll likely have a few around the edges.  At most, I can see some old warehouses being converted into condo lofts like on Noble.  ]]>

Yes, back to the point, there are some great pictures above.

Parkdale still has so many of it's original buildings on Queen Street - quite remarkable, as fire as claimed many on Queen West.  

Amazing how much things have changed in 10 years - back in the early 2000's, I didn't feel safe walking through this grand neighbourhood at night.  Now, with the continued gentrification of the West end, Parkdale is bustling again.  Hopefully condos won't follow suit.  ]]>

It's amazing how much has changed and yet not changed in Parkdale.  I was recently viewing some photos on the Parkdale facebook page that they had put up celebrating the neighbourhood's anniversary, and one shot was of the building on the corner of Brock & Queen that's now that sushi/sake bar, and before that the Bargain shop that you could get all kinds of things (now moved across the street to a smaller store).  Despite renovations, you can still see so much of the original facade.  And in seeing some of these old photos of Queen, I really wish they hadn't done away with the awnings, I kinda like that....lol.  ]]>

Looking at the map, one will see that Indian Road actually merged with Parkside Drive to connect with Lake Shore Blvd. and Queen Street West. It lost that connection with the building of the Queensway in the 1950's. ]]>

Pickin' Chicken ... one of the first restaurant chains. 

Jarvis was full of grand mansions and went down the crapper as well, probably due to the road widening. "War on the Car" indeed ... more like the "War of the Car on the Neighbourhoods". ]]>
