Omschrijving
In 1855, Willowdale post office opened in Jacob Cummer's store on Yonge Street. Today it is a bustling urban environment. Scott Kennedy recounts the notable stories of what happened in between and who was there as Willowdale evolved into a modern community.
A great read for any Torontonian interested in the history of his or her city. And perfect for the former Torontonian as well.
In breezy chapters sketching the stories of main characters and their stakes in the community, well-illustrated in photographs, this is a clearly-written account of Willowdale's rural legacy that takes readers to its urban present.
…those interested in Toronto history and the recent rural past of North York will find a wealth of information and entertaining stories in Willowdale.
Scott Kennedy witnessed the farms surrounding his North York childhood home being planted with a new cash crop of buildings. He joined the Toronto Musicians' Association in 1969, but as a professional musician he never lost his passion for history. Scott lives in a Historical Conservation District he helped create in Toronto's Beach neighbourhood.
