Document Summary
500-750 word essay describing and commenting of one of the virtual exhibits of city of toronto. Look at the pictures and describe what you see and what not. Wont talk about missauga cuz wasn"t created till the 60"s formally. Was a township before and the villages within it (port credit etc) didn"t initially become part of mississauga. Old city of toronto is still the same as it was in 1920"s (younge street etc) History of toronto is different; there"s a lot of it. Hinges and glasses that they"re buying (manufactured goods) were imported and wholesalers in downtown toronto in the 20"s. It"s an area of concentrated human settlement and caries with it a lot of built things (products of man"s endeavor), things that people make (so not only concentration of human settlement but things like a table etc. ) One idea was to have playgrounds but turned out kids weren"t happy and liked playing on streets more.
