Toronto in the 1990s was a time before the internet became a thing, before iPhones and Instagram. It was a very different place, an era when the megacity came into existence, the SkyDome was still called such, and most LCBOs and other stores were still closed on Sundays.

Here's what Toronto looked like in the 1990s.
