Bob McAdorey also worked for 590CKEY. And Jungle Jay coming from Buffalo was big news.
I best remember McAdorey as a member of the Global news at noon program with Mike Anscombe and John Dawe. I used to watch them when I'd come home for lunch during high school. Great chemistry between them.
I almost went there in 1973 when I heard a fairly unknown ZZ Top were going to play there. They cancelled. Had to watch them at the Gardens. Warm up band for Alice Cooper "muscle of love" tour.
at the 1:50 mark the shot with the woman with green dress, anyone recognize that tall building in background? Is that Yonge st?
at the 4:20 mark, the shot with the Kresge store, where the hell is that don't recognize the location either.
Do t know either, but recognize most of the spots, but some of some of them escape me & I'm a life long Torontoian... love this thread!
