From 1979 to 1991 , there was a disco called Sparkles, at the CN Tower on the level Below the restaurant.
On April 10th only, a retro pop up Sparkles will be on the main observation deck from 8pm to 1am
I frequented it on weekends many times, anyone else go?
While going up and down the elevator, we'd sing "We can fall if we want to!" to te tune of "Safety Dance" LOL

Some of you may remember the news story where CFTO co-news anchor Gail Smith involved in a lawsuit in 1986 for allegedly assaulting a cleaning woman at the CFTO broadcast center.
The version I heard, from a reliable source: Gail was in her office giving a blowjob to then Argonauts quarterback Condredge Holloway. The door to her office was slightly ajar, and either Gail or Condredge noticed the cleaning woman peeping through the open door crack. The door was slammed shut, and in the process, the cleaning lady received a black eye from the door handle. The lawsuit was settled quietly to buy the cleaning lady's silence.
Subsequent to the incident, Holloway was shipped off to the Edmonton Eskimos, and Gail had a permanent leave of absence from the World Beat News. She later resurfaced briefly as evening news anchor for 'the new VR' in Barrie, before vanishing into obscurity forever.
Pat Marsden, (center), was permanently banned from at least one Las Vegas casino because his cheque for gambling debts bounced, and Pat basically said 'come and get me in Canada'.
My buddies and I went after we turned 19
My buddies and I started going when we turned 19. Drank the bar out of Kahlua night. Another night one buddy did a summersault right on the dancefloor. Another night we were betting to see who of us would yak on the elevator ride back down. Precious and irreplaceable memories.From 1979 to 1991 , there was a disco called Sparkles, at the CN Tower on the level Below the restaurant.

The Brass Rail in 1995-no lap dancing allowed, by law . 2 tears later lap dancing was allowed.
Was a regular there at that time.

I hope you weren't the guy who would fake a sneeze, and his toupee would fly up in the air.
I remember it well. I think it was one of the first strip bars in Toronto.
1st I would like to thank the Oracle and everyone that responded to his vintage Toronto! 1 of the effects of my treatment is brain fog and you guys are really exercising my memory I thank you all. But now I have to ask for help, in the mid-70s my dad would take me down to Toronto as a teenager we would parked the car south of Wellesley subway station and then proceed by foot to young street going south on Young Street on the east side there was an electronics store. I know that because I bought raw speakers there and I been going up the wall trying to remember its name. We also hit the pawnshops on Church Street and also visited the ape on Queen Street, I do believe that was atlas surplus. Anyone thank you.
