A Mess of Miscellany

🔗 The Legend of Frank Gehry’s Fish (Adam Bunch / torontohistory.substack.com)

Among those who regularly came to the neighbourhood to do their shopping was a woman named Leah Caplan. She would head to the market every Thursday morning — and when she left, she would be carrying a carp, soon to be turned into that week’s gefilte fish.

A group of women, dressed in early 20th-century style coats and hats, are gathered in front of the store. Two women are pushing vintage baby carriages with infants inside. Various crates of produce are displayed in front of the store. Several pedestrians are walking along the sidewalk, and a few cars and buildings are visible in the background.
