Listen "When Toronto Tore Down the Fancy Stuff"
Episode Synopsis
We’re kicking off a new series that we're calling When Toronto Tore Down the Fancy Stuff — a deep dive into the beautiful, bold, and totally doomed buildings this city once had … and then promptly erased. In this episode, we're talking about Moss Park, Crystal Palace, Government House and Hanlan's Hotel. So buckle up, we’re heading into the age of grandeur — and the wrecking balls that followed. Many sources were used, but special thanks to Lost Toronto by Doug Taylor.You can follow Muddy York on Twitter: Toronto_History, Blue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/muddyyork.bsky.social and Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/muddyyorkhistory/.Music:The Westerlies – DoverFreedom Trail Studio – Classic 1985 (Movie Soundtrack)Zachariah Hickman – ArgonneJoel Cummins – Gaiety in the Golden AgeBrian Bolger – A Fool’s ThemeJimena Contreras – HopelessQuincas Moreira – Central ParkJesse Gallagher – Divine Life SocietyJoel Cummins – ResolveDyllah – Randy Flutternubs
