Record World! I bought many cassettes there in 1983 and 1984.
Same here. Took the bus downtown, hit the Silver Snail, then on to Record World and Cheapies (which is still there, and hardly changed). Sam the Record Man and Dr. Disc were on the itinerary too when they opened... I think I was in university by that time.
Interesting that the parade is traveling against the regular flow of one-way traffic on King. I'm not sure if thats even allowed for parades any more.

Herkimer Terrace (aka Burlington Terrace) on Herkimer near James. Note the elaborate steps and fences.

Still an awesome building, would love to see those steps recreated

It's a shame about the building on the south west corner of King and James, the replacement wasn't that much taller. At least it looks like Commerce Place widened the sidewalk.
Well Commerce Place does have two towers of that size, but it's true it would have added even more character to that block of james if the Bank of Hamilton building were still there.
Can only lament buildings being threatened today though.

Folks here have issues with pretty well every loss. That building is one of only two or three buildings replaced by others that actually bothers me.
For buildings today I once again only really take issue if it's a downgrade.

Captainkirk, any idea what year this photo was taken? Also wondering if you can identify the building about 1/3 up from the bottom, the one with all that parking behind it (not the highrise apartment building). Thanks.
