1963 From Chuckman’s Toronto photos – Coxwell Avenue southbound at Gerrard, 1963. Note the former Kresge’s and Loblaws’ stores, Bright’s Wines, Danforth 8 Hour Cleaners.

East-end oasis: Near a bustling East Indian business area; Kresge’s faded luncheon counter; in front of waitress Pat Featherstone; still shines in the lives of many east-enders who come to socialize and stay in touch with their roots.

Indian Market: Each weekend; hundreds of Metro’s East Indian families shop and attend movies on Gerrard St. E. near Coxwell Ave. Merchants say that their customers are often verbally abused by young toughs. The ethnic slurs have some East Indians vowing to fight

Spicy strip: Gerrard St. east of Greenwood Ave. is Toronto’s Little India. Naaz cinema (above) is focal point for 43 shops and restaurants selling Asian fare. At left; Chaat Hut owner Krishan Vig and son Ashim Vig stand outside Ashim’s Bar-Be-Que Hut; where tandoori dishes come good and hot.
