  Isn't that a bit close to the CN Tower to be Victory Soy Mills? Or was there more than 1 mill?

  Shit, you might actually be right. I'll have to check the next time I drive past that area. There was another mill. crap.

  Yah. I also remember the Victory Mill to be a bit to the East of the CN tower. Probably around the foot of Jarvis or something.

  It's at the foot of Parliament, which is far to the east (at least on foot).

  I dunno if it's right, but could it be the Maple Leaf Mills Silos? From wikipedia: "...two silo complexes that occupied the area between Spadina Quay and Maple Leaf Quay. The first structure was opened in 1928 by the Toronto Elevator Company and built by Carter Construction Company. It was called the Playfair Elevators... When TEC merged with Maple Leaf Flour, the silos were renamed Maple Leaf Mills. Unlike Victory Soya Mills and Canada Malting silos, the two structures were demolished in the 1980s (1983) and now part of the Maple Leaf Quay East.

  Also looks like the blue thing in the background is the construction site for the Roy Thompson Hall.
