“Growing up in Leaside in the 1950s felt like living in a small town. There was a milk man, an egg man, and mail was delivered twice each week day and once on Saturday.”

– Charles Rance

“Growing up in North Leaside I remember buying fudgsicles at Jerry’s Smoke and Gifts at Sunnybook Plaza and eating delicious grilled hamburgers at the Go-Go Burger restaurant on Eglinton Avenue.” – Jim Lee
