Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Skid row elixir: This is a common sight in old Cabbagetown but as its cheap rooms and flophouses give way to middle class 'White painters; skid row inhabitants are trapped in a housing crisis so severe that it has forced the city to become a flophouse landlord. It's different here now; says one skid row habitue. All the old faces have gone.
