Happy to see this. I live here and this is exactly what I see every morning from my balcony. I have taken many pictures from this angle but this is quite fantastic. thanks

I have lived in the area a mere 29 years, so I don't remember the bakery. I was standing a bit north of where Loblaw's was, in front of what used to be Davis Hardware for this 3 picture panorama. I spent a lot of time in Norm Davis's hardware during my DIY home renovation years. Now there are no hardware stores within walking distance.

Yonge St. was only one lane each direction here in the late 70s.

Is this where the old 1950s outdoor mall was with the Dominion?

The store on the NW corner (across from the BofM) had been a Richards Big and Tall men's shop back in the early 1980s.

Back in the late 1970s, this was a Texaco gas station. I think it had green shingles. It was boarded up for a while in the 1980s; then this was built.

On the NW corner of Orchard View had been an Embassy/Parkers Cleaners back in the 70s/80s.

In the late 70s, where HMV and Toys R Us are, had been Fairweather, Big Steel Man, and S&B Sound. There was a nasty rusticated concrete facade and unfriendly steps...what an awful complex it had been!

I remember walking up that path with my mother in 1975. :) Playground was on the left; it had a concrete tube that a four-year-old could bang his head on.
