But it was the Cecil, if you couldnt handle 'pointy infected things' then it may not have been the place for you.
Its a shame that there is no such place of recognized ill-repute for people to go to these days. You can learn so much.
They close the King Eddy, then the Cecil, where do kids these days learn their lessons? Such a shame.

There were a number of old hotels of varying reputation that are now gone. To name a few there was the National just off 9th ave SE., the St. Louis, the Calgarian and ST. Regis on 7th Ave, the Imperial and another one on Macleod Tr. and 9th Ave. Another couple (The Alexander?) on 9th Ave SE. These were all rough places but in my day they had bands and a dance floor and if you minded your own business, you shouldn't have trouble. When these closed down the worst of the clientele went to the Cecil and it got worse when things like Crack became popular.
