Looking north from 327 Yonge in 1962 (32/200)
In one of my few jaunts downtown, in 1971 a friend and I dropped in at Le Coq d’Or upstairs to see Rompin’ Ronnie Hawkins, and a guest musician, David Clayton Thomas, came out as well to perform.
Did Ronnie do his signature song “Bluebirds Over The Mountain?” It’s one of my favorites.
The Art Deco neon sign for Crawford’s Men’s Wear (partly visible at far right) looks as though it might date from the 1940’s or even a little earlier.
looking at the car in front Crawford, it looks like like 50s Rambler.
Ford Falcon?
The Edson, Coq D’or and the Derby old watering holes!
The Beau Marks playing at Le Cog d’Or pre Hawks Nest.
Nice shot. Yonge St looked better back then.
