Heh! Small world. Do you recall the last two houses on Nesbitt, just before the Bayview Extension? Lived in both for 3 years each in the early 80's. Rented the east-most one and eventually bought the next one along. :-) Small, cozy, and a joy for trainspotters as the Summerhill line goes right by the end of the yard.
I'd love to see your shots from there. On Sat, Dec 1, 2012 at 3:55 PM, frank theriault <[email protected]> wrote: > I know Nesbitt Drive very well.
