And you thought it was just another Hard Rock Cafe.  Actually, it was; the first [1978] in North America.  But, there's more.  Next time you are here at the SE corner of Yonge and Dundas Square, look up.  :)

"Located at 279 Yonge Street, Child's Restaurant and Offices is architecturally important for its carefully detailed terra cotta cladding."

Much much more fascinating history on our 1918 Heritage Property here.

Torontonians have been taking meals here for quite some time.

Then.  Apr. 5, 1954.  Our waitress is looking at the photographer (whose reflection can be seen).  The old cars are reflected in the window.  I think I can dimly make out diners inside... I would say this picture has a few interesting elements.

Now.  April 2011.
