There is already a twin tower complex occupying the SE corner. Perhaps the SW corner?

Witnessing is not quite the same as stigmatizing. I'm totally in favour of retaining and properly restoring the tower if only to remind myself of all those times I got totally gooned on a Friday night at the legendary Maytag Club below.

Sorry. I'm always getting Richmond and Adelaides streets confused. The fenestration also seemed to be a bit at odds with the Victoria St. building. I'm sure Charioteer could tell us exactly where it is.

It was certainly a hatefest. I think I witnessed it twice back around 1969/70. I kept wondering if the cops would have been so accommodating if it was taking place outside a synagogue or black church. It does boggle the mind how far and how quickly things advanced. That point was really brought...

The eight storey building certainly bears a resemblance to the structure which stood at the SW corner of Adelaide and Victoria directly behind the Confederation Life building.

It also witnessed the annual mass homophobia and queer bashing that occurred every Hallowe'en as the police looked on approvingly. That is the tower in the centre of my avatar.

He never specified how many years ago. Perhaps he was a cabin boy.

Oh, ouch!

I've always rather liked the Redpath Refinery and its reminder of Toronto harbour's industrial past. I see no reason why it should have to relocate. It is neither smelly nor disgusting unless one considers honest hard work to be smelly and disgusting. Last year in Havana, I met a man who had...

Carmen's closed 5 years ago and has sat empty ever since. Glad to have it back. The smell of garlic, burning cow and the linden trees in bloom on Alexander Street was indeed a heady mix on those warm June nights. If I'm not mistaken (and I might very well be) the house was originally the...

Other than missionary?

Absolutely amazing photo. Thanks!

The Studio really hung in there for quite a long while. It has only been gone for 3 or 4 years. They served a super breakfast.

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha. Hilarious

For what it is worth, I've always thought that the much underated Moss Park Armoury would be a splendid candidate for a Toronto Museum.

I like to visit the grave of Her Imperial Highness, the Grand Duchess Olga of Russia in York Cemetery. If I have time, I also drop in on Tim Horton who resides just across the road from her.

I live near Yonge & Carlton and get plenty of practice every day on handling canvassers. Being polite absolves me of any guilt I might feel if I were rude to them and rudeness accomplishes nothing other than a ripple of negativity that just keeps expanding. Of course, the first rule is to avoid...

It's so simple to smile cheefully, say "Sorry, not today" and wish them luck. Good manners cost nothing.
