Goldie's Toronto

On Bay beside the Royal Bank Plaza, right? I have seen her in that spot since at least 2005. Does anyone know her story?

That memorial sign.. it's heart rending to think that 15 men made the ultimate sacrifice from what certainly must have been a small neighbourhood.

Inspired by your ancient Logan Furniture sign Goldie... here's something from the Queen and Sherbourne area.

I expect we both find abandoned storefronts to be somewhat picturesque - so long as there aren't too many, eh?

Sixty years ago this was the Dell Tavern, a fine spaghetti house at Elm & Simcoe.
It's the first place I ever tasted spaghetti that wasn't out of a can - and I was hooked for life!
Does anyone know when it went out of business?

I used to work on Simcoe St in the 90s and this was a Hasty Market then. So before the 90s, for sure!

I'm surprised this building has lasted as long as it has.

Wasn't there also an upstairs restaurant at the rear? (Entrance on Elm.)

I don't recall the upstairs facility, but I clearly remember that the ground floor restaurant served a huge plate of spaghetti with "butter sauce" for $ .99

They had live music entertainment too; I agree, it was gone by about 1985. The missus and I has cooler places to go.. like the disco in the basement of the Downtown Holiday Inn.

I remember a dinner theatre upstairs there as well. Entrance closer to St. Patrick church.

These have a film look, wonderful.

Must admit, most of my pix are Photoshopped.

Photoshopping is almost as much fun as shooting.
