I think I actually prefer this facade to the older one that had windows. The marble is nice. And it's too bad the older CIBC building could not have been kept and incorporated into the newer complex. |

Again, recollections going way back but I remember going downtown with my mom as she ran her arrands to do all the bills. These pictures are sweet though! |

Chedoke Golf course
Just curious if anyone has an old scorecard or (clearer) picture of the old Beddoe Golf course before the 403 destroyed it. I can see most of the holes but I never played it so I have no idea what order they were in.

I grew up playing Chedoke and that picture shows the same holes as the last time I played it. (about 8 years ago)
I can clearly see the 6th hole and the tees for 7 and 12 in the same spot and they all border the highway. Edit: 14 was shortened about 30 yards and the 15th (cardiac hill) lengthened and made into a dogleg. The picture is cut off but the bottom left is 16 and I don't see 17. |

Very interesting photograph. Skylights are gone, I take it?
To what extent was Jackson Sq complete in 1972? You can see what I believe is the old parkade behind Eaton's. And I'm pretty sure the 'new' library and market structure didn't go up until 1980 or thereabouts. Anyway, I think I answered my own question pretty much... |

Dollar for dollar the Chedoke courses are the best I've played for a middle of the road player. Some great holes and scenery you only get only get on courses that charge double. I have a yearly tournament and time and again we go back to Chedoke.

For a municipal course it's not bad. I'm sure I'll never play there again but there are times I would love to play either course. There are lots of great summer memories there from my teens. Gone are the days of teeing off before 7 (juniors couldn't tee off between 7 and 10), play a 2nd round after a quick lunch around 11 and having just enough time for a 3rd round before the shift workers hit the course at 4. |

What are those dudes doing out in the street? Looks like they're trying to pick something out of the air. Hey man, it was the '70s right? Could be anything... |
