- Item consists of a recording of Travel World. Zelda and Ron talk about the Catskills, a popular destination among Torontonians due to their proximity to the city. Ron describes the region as seasonal, traditionally popular during the summer and Passover, but recently also becoming a Christmas destination. He mentiones that most hotels have Passover programs, and the choice of hotel depends on how religious the traveller is. Zelda then compares her stays at the Concord when she was a teenager and when she was an adult, after her father's passing. She describes it as a "concrete jungle" and "too New York." Ron argues that every hotel is different and has different things to offer.

- 327 architectural and technical drawings
- Scope and Content
- Series consists of Benjamin Brown’s architectural drawings of personal residences that were either designed or renovated for real estate developers, landlords or the occupants themselves. The majority of the buildings were designed for a Jewish clientele, many of whom were prominent citizens, including Louis Gelber and Mendel Granatstein. Brown also created designs for his own personal residence on Castle Frank Crescent, however the home was never completed. Most of the houses he designed or renovated were located in the Annex, Forest Hill, Casa Loma or Hillcrest neighborhoods. Many were designed with elements of Georgian, Craftman, Colonial Revival and/or Tudor architectural styles. They ranged from three storey mansions to small duplexes and single story homes. The vast majority of his commissions were standard three or four bedroom two storey homes.
- The majority of these drawings are on tracing or drafting paper, several of which are in colour and the remainder are either blueprints or drawn on cardboard. Plans, sketches, elevations, sections, detailing and technical drawings of the residences are included.

Initially, it also provided residents with a forum for expression as some of them sat on the magazine's Editorial Board. In Sept. 1969, the publication changed its name to Baycrest News to reflect Baycrest's name change to the Baycrest Centre for Geriatric Care. Another change to the publication took place in 1982, when its format was altered from a magazine to a tabloid. It was issued between three and four times each year. Baycrest News is no longer published.
