The old very narrow Yonge and Bloor subway platform, that was scary during rush hour, it was so crowded that commuters would be standing right at the edge of the platform as the train pulled in.
Back in grad school remember taking a roadie to toronto....Back in the mid 80's...we found ourselves in some place with the word Brunswick in it....Brunswick house maybe? I remember long tables, waitresses bringing trays of individual beers rather than jugs/pitchers. And beer pretty much everywhere. It seemed full of yobbos turning into longshoremen just as eager to have a laugh as a go but in a weird, hockey kinda way. We had a blast, and my Montreal mate kept whinging about no smoked meat places to hit after beering up. LOL
Hope this isn’t a duplicate post but here’s a CityTV, Queen street memory:
Ahhh the Brunny. Lots of good times spent there with my shoes sticky from spilled beer and old friends. Can’t remember if their food was any good but it was the perfect location to meet with buddies in college.Yes that would have been the Brunswick House.

I think it was right beside "Consumer's Distributing". You'd order something from a catalogue and then they'd bring it out for you.When "The Beer Store" was known as "Brewer's Retail"
Most of their products were cheap and crappy, also known as "Consumer Jobbers" lolI think it was right beside "Consumer's Distributing". You'd order something from a catalogue and then they'd bring it out for you.
I saw Fiddler On the Roof at the O'keefe as well as The Clash.When the Sony Center for Performing Arts was known as "The O'keefe Centre", I only saw one event there, Sheena Easton, back around 82, she was a cutie!
There was a time when you could insult a fellow classmate, co worker etc....by insinuating that their address is "999 Queen St, West"
Yes, it was at 999 Queen St w, its new home is at 1001 Queen st west, saying "one thousand-one" just doesn't have the right ring to it as saying "nine-nine-nine", LOLWas that where the mental hospital was?"
