As recently as 1970, wheat crops were grown at Don Mills - and no small amount, but enough to line Toronto's grocery-store shelves with baked goods. Single-herd milk was also commonplace, thanks to this last vestige of the city's agricultural past. By 1980, it had been paved over, but Scott Kennedy offers a glimpse of the way things used to be.

Scott Kennedy witnessed the farms surrounding his North York childhood home being planted with a new cash crop of buildings. He joined the Toronto Musicians' Association in 1969, but as a professional musician he never lost his passion for history. He traces the evolution of a Toronto neighbourhood in his book Willowdale. Scott lives in a Heritage Conservation District he helped create in Toronto's Beach neighbourhood.
