The Toronto Alphabet

So I've put together an alphabet based on signs and various other things on the streets of Toronto - captured through Google Street View, of course. This is what it looks like:

Probably by looking at many of them, you can guess what they come from. Some are more obscure. Here's the list:
  • A - Mark's - Danforth and Pape
  • B - The Big Bop - Queen and Bathurst
  • C - Elephant and Castle - University and King
  • D - Dollarama - Orfus and Dufferin
  • E - Esso - Jane and Finch
  • F - Future Shop - Yonge and Dundas
  • G - Construction - University and College
  • H - BH Jeans - Orfus and Dufferin
  • I - XXI - Yonge and Dundas
  • J - J.R. Wilcox Community School - Eglinton and Oakwood
  • K - St. Lawrence Market - Front and Jarvis
  • L - LCBO - Bloor and Royal York
  • M - Metro - Yonge and Eglinton
  • N - Danforth Neighbourhood Dental Centre - Danforth and Pape
  • O - Toronto General Hospital - University and College
  • P - Shoppers Drug Mart - St. Clair and Keele
  • Q - Seoul House - Orfus and Dufferin
  • R - RBC - Dundas and Spadina
  • S - Spadina Court - Dundas and Spadina
  • T - The Health Garden - Bloor and Royal York
  • U - Toys R Us - Yonge and Eglinton

  • W - Town Shoes - Yonge and Eglinton
  • X - Rexall - Yonge and Eglinton
  • Y - Demolition - St. Clair and Keele
