Any wild stories to share? News worthy stories from the time?
Another very popular type of entertainment back then we're the many dance halls through the GTA that featured singers and live bands where many single young girls would go to meet guys or dance among themselves. Places like the Masyryk Hall in Parkdale, Club Trocadero which featured R & B music, Maple Leaf ballroom where all the girls would sot at one side and the guys on the other. During the rock songs the girls would dance with themselves but when a slow soñg began to play there was a stampede of guys running across to the other side to get a dance if they were lucky. I decided to learn to dance to rock songs and would easily get a girl to dance with me then when the slow song began, I already had a girl on my arms to dance with and take them to their home later and become good friends, LOL. Met my wife at the Avenue Road Club 55 years ago.
