remember when

Toronto. George Dunbar sent me this shot of the Kodak Canada campus in Mount Dennis (now part of Toronto) around 1930. You can see the fields that are no longer empty. My uncle and my father had a garage (auto wreckers) in nearby Weston at the time.

The mighty Kodak Company was devastated by the digital era and filed for bankruptcy a decade ago in 2014. Both here, and at Kodak Park in Rochester, most buildings were razed. Here, one building remains (#9). It will become a station on the new cross-town subway system – after a short relocation move and a much longer renovation  time.

My thanks to George for this image from one of our exchange members and the memories it invoked.
