Original Toronto Star caption: Study in contrast: The mystical mountain of Canada's Wonderland overshadows a dilapidated barn in Vaughan Township; signalling the beginning of the end for farming in the area. One real estate agent says land that sold for $5;000 an acre just a few years ago is now fetching at least $15;000 as hotels; motels and fast-food outlets scramble for sites near the park.
