Couple of the young guys were having a conversation in the lunchroom the other day along the lines of, "Wow, can you believe NHL goalies used to play without a mask?"

Hell yeah. That shit was going on well into my lifetime.

Gray Coach Lines service to Port Credit began in 1927 - Hooper's Pharmacy on Lakeshore Road was the Gray Coach Lines agency in the community - from 1927, Hooper's Drug Store was located on the north side of Hwy 2 at 94 Lakeshore Road East, between Elizabeth & Helene Streets - in 1939, the business moved next door to 100 Lakeshore Road East - NOTE: the TTC also provided service between Toronto and Port Credit

Back in 1965; Star photographer Boris Spremo took this picture of the north-east corner of Bloor and Yonge Sts. It shows a street car passing the old Royal building

My first Toronto apt was a 2-min walk away. I remember when I caught my first glimpse of the store while walking along Bloor, it was pretty surreal. Even more surreal when I stepped inside.

It'll definitely feel like a part of my Toronto died when it closes. Place was magical.

Actually, a Youtube playlist would probably be simplest. Bring a laptop and charger.

Question about this. I have done this, thinking it would be a back up plan - but I am at a loss figuring out how to work this mp3 player (ipod). So this Youtube thing may become plan A.

So my question is: will Youtube suddenly start inserting a bunch of ads? I'm not getting any right now as I play it - it flows from song to song - but might that start unexpectedly?
 
Okay so I have an adblocker and I guess that's the reason for no ads. I see some visual ads - banners that come up - but that doesn't matter.

The adblocker I have is a different one. Should I add that one as well?
