I always thought First Place was one of the later highrises downtown. I must have confused it with another one.

Jokes My Folks Never Told Me (1977)
Directed by: Gerry Woolery Rating: R (Not For Children) Review Summary Maybe your folks never did, but we bet that Grandpa or Uncle Louie whispered a few of these. Anyway, you've heard most of these racy knee-slappers before. The film is little more than a series of blackouts, concentrating on anatomical humor. And oh, yes: there's lots of buxom females. This 82-minute pastiche is in the same vein as If You Don't Stop It, You'll Go Blind and Can I Do It...Till I Need Glasses? ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi http://www.amazon.com/Jokes-My-Folks.../dp/B0009JTRUG 'Red Hot Chili Peppers' Anthony Kiedis pranks Schoolteacher - See more at: http://www.j4hi.com/page6/page43/JOK....CQxKtl0Y.dpuf |

The building underwent recladding and balcony enclosing in 1994.. I remember watching out the window of Cathedral Boys while wishing I was "anywhere but here" back in the day..

Also about the Cannon bus, it used to turn left on Wellington from Cannon, right on King following down to the old Macnab terminal. It was moved to it's current routing along James North to the GO station in 2009. Similarly, it and the Barton bus also used to use Hughson to go North to Wilson or Barton from Main Street. I remember the stop beside the bingo hall pretty well.

I really miss that office complex. Its streamlined architecture really added to the skyline and made the city feel more like a city. The retrofit to its current featureless state looks cheap and ugly in comparison.

I'm not sure people ever really embraced that fountain. Why do people always want to mess with Gore Park? Hopefully these more recent changes will be OK.

Taken from the very new Canada Life and Assurance Company headquarters (aka Birk's building). The S.G. Treble building and those to the east still stand on that corner, though in terrible condition (obviously). Likely almost 50 years old at the time this photo was taken. And look as those poor horses. No idea how they managed to pull those cars - a short and brutal life. |
