@toronto_papi_: Temperance Street. Toronto’s Financial District. Tucked into the heart of Toronto’s Financial District, Temperance Street is a small street with a big-city story. Surrounded by towering office buildings, historic architecture, restaurants and hidden laneways, it offers a fascinating contrast between old Toronto and the modern downtown skyline. Named for the temperance movement that promoted moderation—or abstinence—from alcohol, the street is a reminder that Toronto’s history is written into even its smallest streets. A little street, a lot of history.
