Yonge Street in the 1960's

I'm sure I've posted this before but still a great, iconic photo of Yonge Street in the mid 60's looking south towards Dundas at Edward. There's also a nice early Corvair (59-64) in the shot
travelling south and a lot of neon.

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.

According to Lew, country music star, Tex Ritter (Father of John Ritter) played at the Edison bar in the 1960's.
