Parliament St and Riverdale Farms

Today’s Vlog takes place in the east side of Toronto. My dentist is on Parliament St near Carlton and I had an appointment to get a crown repaired. Before the appointment I filmed a walk from Gerrard St. north to Winchester before getting the work done. After, I walked east to Riverdale Farms.

If you are as old as I am and grew up in Toronto, you will remember that until 1974 it was Riverdale Zoo. Riverdale Farm opened 4 years after the zoo closed. Walking through here at the time I did, there didn’t seem to be a lot of farm activity beyond a few farm animals around.

Next time I’m in this area, I’ll take you on a walk through Necropolis Cemetery where many prominent Torontonians are buried. It is located just to the north of Riverdale Farm.

Have your say...
