murmur # 213601
Located on the corner of Spadina and Dundas (285 Spadina Ave.) is a big green ear on a pole.
This ear represents a special story, told by one Richard Flohil.
He describes how there used to be a burlesque bar located there, one which ultimately went under, but was then used in the future as a music event (trying to boost the location's image)
The most interesting part was the fact that this venue had huge rock legends play within its depths.
The venue took on the name, The Victory and had big names as Rush and none other than KISS play inside.
A Newyears bash was televised one year, in which a huge concert with strippers took place. The interesting fact being that it was televised on live t.v., on none other than TVO (which had just begun).
Who would have imagined...
Wish I was there...

wow, someone has solved the mystery of posting... I had fun going thru Kensington & Augusta, but posting remains a mystery... no "post" button, no picture icon...
Am bringing my laptop to class tomorrow -- obviously need the Tutorial for Idiots
Thanks for this interesting post! It's such a good story, about a famous downtown bar. Good use of the links option in your post.
