TTC CLRV 4159 is short-turning on a 505 Dundas run, heading southbound on Church Street approaching Queen Street. It's passing "pawn shop alley" along Church, this area long known for its many pawn shops. McTamney's Pawnbrokers and Williams Pawnbrokers are visible here, and Grant's Pawnbrokers and Thifty's occupied multiple storefronts to the south along with various other used buy and sell stores in the immediate area (some still survive here today, including McTamney's).

    I used to take that car out of Dundas West Station. Looks the same now, the car that is. Thanks for sharing.
