PHOTOS: Kerrisdale then and now

Images show how the Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­neighbourhood has changed over the years

In 2013, the Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­Courier launched our , which featured stories and photos to illustrate what made each 'hood in the city distinct.

As part of that project, photographer Dan Toulgoet documented how times have changed in Kerrisdale by matching archived images from the Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­Public Library of streets, buildings and neighbourhhood haunts with their present day incarnations. We're reposting those photos for throwback Thursday.
