So... the CN Tower is about to turn 50, on June 26, halfway to officially becoming an antique. We'll do a front page story, although I'm not sure in what format quite yet, but if any of you have particular CN Tower memories that you'd like to share — especially from the time when it was being built — please either add them in this thread, or if you think they are special enough for us to include in our coverage on the 26th, then please DM me with them! Whether construction related or impact on the city or you personally, it all may be worth splashing out about!

Let's not forget its progenitor, the "communication tower" in the Metro Centre proposal in 1967.

Whoa, that plan. In the sixties, they really did regard downtown Toronto as some kind of blank canvas

Well, other than Union Station, most of that Metro Centre land really *was* a blank canvas of sorts--after all, it's where the South Core and Cityplace and more eventually sprung up...

Photo I took of TTC 8756 on streetcar replacement duty looking west on College at Concord during July 1996, and the most recent Google Streetview image, July 2023

You should maybe try again to attach the photos? (Also, most recent Streetview is 2023)
