[unassuming]

No pics but I remember the great bars on Yonge Street. The colonial tavern, saw John Lee Hooker, the Town tavern, The Friars, IanTyson & Sylvia, Le Coq Dor, Ronnie Hawkins, The Band, The Brown Derby and others names I cant remember, in the late 50s and early 60s.Torontl was THE PLACE in those days.

Anyone remember the "Picadily Tube" bar/pub at Yonge and Edward?

HaHaHa . . . . . . Hooker Harvey's :biggrin:

Waaaaaaay back, every kid behind the wheel of his dad's station-wagon along with his jean poppin' pals did a Jarvis st drive-by at least once!

The middle aged female that I screw sometimes who lives there said there use to be hookers on the street in her area, but the area is so much safer now. She lives close to the Coffee Time. Parking is a pain since a lot of the houses don't have driveways there.
