Historical Pictures of Seaton Village and The Annex

Well, it's howling and billowing out there already! For those of you planning to jet somewhere tropical to sit poolside with drinkies stuffed with teeny umbrellas and garnished with fruit slices, I feel for you!
Think I'd actually rather be here at home, where all four of us are sick now, holed up with ginger ale, ice cream, cough drops and a few good movies.
Lovely way to start March Break!

In case you're in my boat and are not at the airport in an interminable line up, here's a perfect occupation for a stormy day...
Have you ever wondered what your street looked like 100 years ago? Or even just 50 years ago? Or how about your local park, or stretch of Bloor?

History hounds and the just-plain curious will love the pictures available online from the City of Toronto archives, such as this one taken on Howland Avenue in 1902. (You can click on it to see a larger version).
Happy surfing,
