When talking about history, there are always moments that make people feel mysterious and wonderful. Sometimes when you look at an old photo from many years ago, you really can’t imagine that the same place has undergone such earth-shaking changes a few years or more later. .
We are all newbies in Toronto , and we really haven’t seen much of the changes in this city. You may see this change bit by bit. Today a new building is built here, and tomorrow a new road is built there. But maybe if you live here every day, there don’t seem to be many big changes, or maybe you just pass by it every day and don’t pay much attention.
Living Bacteria is here to show you the history of Toronto and the changes in the place we live in every day.

I have to say that Toronto has been the same for so many years. The changes are truly wonderful. From black and white to color, from nothing to the current prosperity. It’s really developing step by step and getting better and better. These old historical photos really show something about Toronto that many people have never seen.
