In the early 1970s, 'going to the mall' might mean a summer stroll down Yonge Street! From 1971 to 1974, the city experimented with turning a stretch of downtown Yonge into a pedestrian mall for a portion of the summer - including the novelty of some of the city's first outdoor licensed patios. Do you remember the Yonge Street Mall? 1. Crowds walking through Yonge Street Mall at Gould Street, 1971. Photographer Harvey R. Naylor. Fonds 1526, File 5, Item 1. 2.
