How sad that it’s a Tim Horton’s now.

Found this picture of the Carlton at City of Toronto archives.
This is a very good view of the marquee.

I loved this theatre when I lived in Windsor (69-70).
Let’s see what I can remember seeing there….

Airport
On Her Majesty’s Secret Service
Ben-Hur
The Hawaiians
Battle of Britain

And a couple of others I’m sure. Loved that place.

The picture posted by Grainger on Oct. 19, 2008 is from the summer of 1973.
That is when Toronto turned Yonge Street into a pedestrian mall.

It was used as a booze can from about ‘86 to '87.
I have a photo I took in 1987 that I will upload when the photo function returns.

Lived on Plains Road in the early 70’s and this was my weekend home away from home.
Loved the occasional horror double-features.
Still very much missed.

AJOHMSS commented about Cinema At The Toronto Dominion Centre on Dec 23, 2010 at 4:37 am

I loved this theatre.
Surprisingly quiet considering all the streetcars along King Street.

Saw “Bonnie & Clyde” there in 1968 and “The French Connection” in 1972.

Many others that I can’t quite remember.
