Dundas Subway station

The Dundas subway station is located on the Yonge-University-Spadina line of the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC).  It was opened in March 1954 and serves about 50,000 people a day.  Located in the downtown core of Toronto, Dundas square is a public place for music, film screenings and public forums and was created as a result of commercial building demolitions in the area in 2002. 



Dundas and Yonge was a popular spot for me when I was a teenager and I have great memories here.  Nothing much has changed, the Hard Rock CafĂ© is still alive and well and they allowed us to come in a take some photographs today, which I thought was nice of them considering we didn’t order from the menu!  Of course Dundas is also the entrance to part of the Eatons Centre.  A spectacular shopping arena that extends all the way through to Queen street subway to the south.

Great Rock paraphernalia
For the Christmas season, historically Simpson's store used to have the most amazing window displays (ever seen “A Christmas Story” ) the movie?  Nowadays some displays I just don’t get, but for the most part, you will find pretty much anything and everything you are looking for, including for those hard to buy for people on your list.
