That looks like Toronto City Hall parking garage, the largest in Toronto.

No question about that Hillar, I parked there for 10 years when I was at The Law Society of Upper Canada, $240 a month when I left at the end of 2004, must be $300 per month by now. no

Remember when Loblaws and other grocery stores would have you pull up to the "parcel pick up" area and your groceries would roll out on rollers and some kid would load your trunk?

Wow!  CONSTRUCTION of the Gardiner Expressway, when our politicians had foresight and actually invested in infastructure to move society forward!  Sadly we will likely be seeing the same type of photo in a few years, but going in reverse if Comrade Miller has his way.  He wants to take us back to the 50's in terms of getting around Toronto.  Hope he will enjoy breathing in all the extra smog from all the traffic jams we are going to have...

1966 PONTIAC STRATO CHIEF  396 cu in  4 speed.jpg  Mark;  when I see all these wonderfull pictures, it reminds me, of all the cars, at "home" in Sackville N.B. in 1965 66 67    It also reminds me ,why I was so "taken' by the (Big White Strato Chief) in our home townwink  Crossed flags in front fenders, sitting high in front, and sounding like nothing we had ever heard, and later in 1967, the bubble hood scoop  Wow   thanks for stirring our memorys

 Kudos and thanks to Fred for exposing the Toronto archive link!

I wonder if it would be worth it to gather all of these great links into a sticky?

That is a nice sittin' wagon isn't it, although it could be somewhat due to the camera lense's perspective. Looks like a 2 door. Would that be rare?
