For any-one in general, for Lars in particular:
In your first picture of Little Norway, in Toronto, the whole area is completely changed except for the large building at the top left. That was Tip Top Tailors, who made thousand of battledress uniforms and other clothing during World War II. The ball diamond was ripped down in about 1959 to 1963. The whole area has been developed as a tourist attraction and is called Harbourfront. The ferry still runs, and right now the Toronto mayoral candidates are fiercely debating a bridge to the Island.
Muskoka airport still functions, mostly with crop dusting planes and light recreational planes.
Cheers
