I became such a regular in the mid-70s, that they rarely bothered to ask what I wanted but just brought me tea with a slice of lemon and an order of chicken egg foo young. <br /><br />I later learned that Neil Young (during his Lakehead sojourn) had been a regular in the building, using space upstairs for rehearsal. And I seem to remember that Ray Dee was involved, as well.<br /><br />In any case, the place is now just one more lost location. So, thanks for preserving some of the photographic record and inspiring those who recall the place to contribute their oral history.Jim Farrellnoreply@blogger.com
