  1. The empty spaces on the northeast and southeast sides of Danforth in this photo are super familiar, nowadays they’re places to rent and buy cars/trucks if I’m not mistaken.
    The building that is east of where it says “24 hour laundry service” is now Woodgreen Community Services. To the east of that building, there was a 7/11 there until the late 2010’s.
    There’s a great place for Middle Eastern food now, called Makkah Restaurant, on the most northeast Danforth building seen in this photo.
    If this photo was 360 degrees, and one was to turn 90 degrees left, they would see the place where Madinah Masjid, the local mosque, would now be.
    Wilkinson Junior Public School, which opened in 1915, would be a few minutes away from here, on Donlands Avenue just north of Danforth.
