Edison Hotel R.I.P

A post card of the "Strip" from the 1960's from the Chuckman Collection.
A couple more shots of the late Edison Hotel at Yonge and Gould destroyed by a suspicious fire yesterday morning. The building to the right would later house the famous
le Coq d'Or Tavern.


A hand tinted postcard from Chuckman's Collection.
According to Lew, country music star, Tex Ritter (Father of John Ritter) played at the Edison bar in the 1960's.
There's an excellent article re: the Edison Hotel here.
