Happy Friday everyone! Another week gone, and we’re more than halfway through February too!
Up today is one of my favourite photos that I’ve come across. Dated June 1, 1934, the caption on the back reads:

I grew up at 753 Windermere Road and remember my mother shopping at that Loblaws in the late 50's and 60's. We got our Funk & Wagnals encyclopedia set there - one volume at a time with the groceries.
If you notice it was the Imperial Bank of Canada. I had a girl friend that worked there in 1966 -1967. There was also the Canadian Bank of Commerce. They both merged and became one now known as The Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. CIBC. Across the corner on the South East Side was The Toronto Dominion Bank. My mother worked there 1958. They had Bass bars the seperated the customers from the tellers.
