First settled in the 1800’s as Coleman Postal Village at the crossroads of the Danforth, which was a concession road, and Dawes Road. Improved for horse traffic when railways were built in the mid-19th century and named after Colonel Asa Danforth, an American contractor.
The Grand Trunk Railway had a railway yard east of Main between Danforth and Lakeview - now Gerrard - and built a station (York) to serve locals. The village grew and was incorporated as the Village of East Toronto in 1888. Centred on Main Street and extending down the Lake, the village was elevated to a Town and shortly afterwards annexed to the City of Toronto in 1908.
In 1918 the Prince Edward Viaduct connecting Bloor and Danforth was opened. Cost in today's money $32,000,000. Streetcar tracks linking Bloor and Danforth Avenues were extended to the Luttrell Loop, a streetcar terminus for the Bloor-Danforth, Gerrard and former Coxwell streetcar routes.
The area developed through the 1920s and 1930s as a streetcar suburb along the Danforth. Most of the housing to the north and south of the Danforth date from this period. In 1921 the Ford Motor Car Company built an assembly plant for Model T and Model A cars, east of the Luttrell Loop, south of Danforth. The building is still there - Shoppers World. During WWII it was a munitions plant too. Ford moved to Oakville in 1953. AMC then took it over for a few years. In 1962 Shoppers World was developed by Peel Elder on the car assembly property - one of the very first enclosed Shopping Malls in Canada. Eatons was the anchor with other retailers such as Marks & Spencer and Koffler's Drugs, which took its name today - Shoppers Drug Mart - from Shoppers World, Danforth.
In 1966 the Bloor-Danforth subway line opened from Keele to Woodbine and in 1968 streetcars were retired.
Danforth Village now extends east and west of Dawes to Victoria Park Avenue and to two blocks west of Main Street.

This mysterious chimney-top figure sits over the Pizza Nova at Danforth and Woodmount. The address is 1954, so presumably 1926 refers to the building's year of construction.

I love this because it can be used in so many ways. I envision it in the dining/pool area but can also be used next to a chair as a cool side table. One of a kind so its also a piece or art in itself.

I could special order this chair (but it takes 4 weeks) In an awesome fabric that would tie into bedding. Height in the corner might be cool. Just an option, feedback is welcome.

There has been a horrendous car accident just steps away from our house. At around 2 pm on 2008-07-14, apparently a black BMW was going west on Danforth Avenue (east of Coxwell Avenue) and had a very minor fender-bender collision with another car. For some strange and unexplained reason, rather than stopping, the BMW sped away and left the scene. When the car reached the intersection / junction at Coxwell Avenue, it ran a red light and slammed into a woman crossing the street. The woman was killed instantly :o..( The car then lost control and clipped a dumpster truck going north legally on Coxwell Avenue. Debris were flying all over the street.
As of now, the police is still invetigating the crash, trying to find out if the driver involved with the hit-and-run was trying to flee the scene when he hit the woman, or whether he suffered a medical condition and lost his consciousness.
I was at work when the crash happened and I heard it on the news radio. Initially there were conflicting reports on the age of the victim. One report said the victim was in her 60s and that caused a major scare for me. When I called home, thankfully my mom picked up the phone after 2 rings. Had she picked up any later and I might suffer a heart attack myself. Still, a totally innocent woman died from a tragic accident. The victim is someone’s daughter, or wife, or girlfriend, sister or even mother, friend or colleague. On a beautiful, sunny summer afternoon.
my last food joke...I promise...this I'm told and heard on tv (so it must be true) really does taste like chicken...maybe he'll share...
This is what Toronto's state of emergency COVID-19 shutdown looks like. At 8:30 a.m. Danforth Ave. is usually clogged with traffic heading downtown.
