Twelve Corners is where Elmwood Avenue, Monroe Avenue, and Winton Road intersect each other pairwise, forming a triangular island, and — count them — twelve corners. There are many shops here.
What's now a closed (as of May 2008) Rite Aid (seen in the Google Maps photo) used to be a Howard Johnsons (seen in the 1951 photo).
The main plaza that fronts to Monroe Avenue hasn't changed much at all, and neither has the corner of Twelve Corners Middle School that faces the intersection.
