I'm late to this thread.....Adrien told me about it on the phone last night. It sure brings back alot of memories. Like Dave Gallant, I remember the Blue Lantern and the New Penelope back in the mid-sixties. Right next door to the Stanley Tavern as I recall. We used to eat at an Italian restaurant on St. Catherine after the last set at the Blue Lantern....can't remember the name but it was on the south side of the street between Stanley and Peel.

I remember that God-awful Swiss Hut, as well. Some of us posting on this thread are lucky we got out of that place alive.

Stephanie.....there was a pretty active counter-culture scene on Alymer Street, as I recall.....part of the McGill ghetto.

I was a student at Sir George during the computer center riot and can still recall standing on Bishop St. watching the computer cards cascading down......then the fire started and the firemen started breaking windows and glass started falling......what a time!! I think I still have a tattered copy of the book that was written about that incident, it was called "The Computer Center Party"......I'll have to check when I get home tonight.

Keep the memories flowing.....
