Note that back in the day, kids used to play on King-Edward as it was filled with trees and grass.  That situation nowadays would be for slightly inappropriate.  Even taking the 2013 shot was quite an adventure.

And before the kids were playing on it, King Edward had a nice open air sewer where the park seen in the older picture was. I love living on this street, so much character. Now if we can only get rid of the damn trucks.
