I went mostly to the Palace and also the Odeon on the south side,z the decor in the Palace made me feel like I was in an actual palace or a castle. Going to the show was a real treat and made you feel special.
I lived on carlaw, south of Danforth, across from Holy Name School. Went to Danforth tech in the matriculation course. Met my wonderful husband Denley at Danforth tech.
Went on to my career at the Toronto Star.
Bought my wedding dress at a wedding dress store northeast Pape and Danforth (always forget the name). Left the area to buy our house. Loved the area. Lived there from age 13 to 24. My parents stayed on for about 6 years after that. Wish they’d never left.
Used to take my sister there most Saturdays. My dad would hand me a whole dollar. It paid for the bus fare, the theater ticket, and popcorn for both my sister and myself. It was a great way to spend a Saturday. There was always the feature movie, at least one serial, one or two cartoons, news, and someone on stage to perform magic or something else.
Another great area,saw all the British Carry On movie’s there and midnight shows.
A streetcar on Danforth wow bring it back please
I so agree with you. I rode that streetcar many times sometimes from the Luttrell Loop all the way to the Humber. The Danforth was a vibrant community before the subway rid it of the streetcars. The Queen Streetcar, east of Woodbine reminds me of those old days.
