The Calgary Press Club. Where Buzzard's is now. Now that was a legendary drinking hole in its day.

The Regis. Saw Motley Crue there. The Calgarian was next door.

Which brings me to another, the King Edward Hotel.

The King Richard (or was it King Richards) on Bow Trail across from Westbrook mall. It shut down in 2000

Used to be a preeminent banger bar. Drew in some name acts.

The National Hotel in Inglewood has a brief existence as a trendily slummy joint for alternative music.

Hollywood North - a great dive on 9th Ave that sold high-balls for $1 all of the time. They would bring them 4 at a time to us.

Night Tragic.

DINO'S HIDE-AWAY!

First and Twelfth S.W. I believe. Ladies Interpretive Nude Dancing. Second floor. First floor was a porn shop called "Numbers."

Cops were shutting it down for Public Indecency all the time in the late '70s.

Arsonist torched it. Big deal at the time.

Was Curly's South mentioned? The most terrifying moment of my young life was going there when I was 16, and having a doorman approach me. He wanted a smoke, I thought he was going to throw me through a window.

Jezebel's, my old 80s SAIT haunt.

Jimmy Dean's, with its 50s and sixties music, was a great place to try to pick up "experienced' ladies. Operative word is "try."
