It’s Throwback Thursday (#TBT), and today I’m going back 40 years to a time when many business names had not yet become acronyms. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce was not yet CIBC, and Kentucky Fried Chicken was not yet KFC. I spent a lot of time on Carlton street in those days. I lived a little further east near Sherbourne Street, and would see concerts and hockey games at Maple Leaf Gardens, and movies at the Carlton Cinema.

This photo appeals to me in several ways, but most of all because of what the mixed lighting sources do to the colour.  The mixture of neon, fluorescent, and daylight really bring the scene alive. Also, I love Laura Secord chocolate!
