Amazing to look back at this to get the full perspective. My dad was born in 1920 in Dauphin. Came to Toronto in 1922 becoming his true hometown. He sold newspapers at 13 during the Depression on downtown streets and Maple Leaf Gardens to make a buck for the family. Was at the Toronto Maple Leaf overtime game where Ken Doraty scored the eventual winner. Back then, overtime ran a full 10 minutes with unlimited scoring. My dad, arguably the greatest newsy in Canada, sold a record 4,110 newspapers (incl. Telly fun cheques, for car draw) by the CNE ferris wheel on a single Labor Day in the 1960s. He was steeped in Toronto history and one of the Three Stooges was his friend, Curly Joe DeRita, who would send us a Christmas card every year. I got autographed pictures of the Stooges at the Royal York Hotel after a performance at the CNE's Exhibition Grandstand. Many fond memories. Thought you might find this interesting. I was very lucky to have such a great father.

Nice to see old pictures of my hometown much as my parents might’ve seen it as children although they were born in the 20s actually.
