On Sunday, I wanted to catch the 4:43am ride on the newly opened section of the St Clair right-of-way (ROW) but I came down with a serious flu bug. Instead, I soothed my disappointment by spending the early morning looking at images from the Toronto Archives of the original St. Clair ROW when it opened in 1914. The above photo is looking west on St. Clair near Spadina. Also, I’ve compiled links to articles from the weekend papers.
