Are you 100? Haug builders was where exactly? What's there now?

[twofingers]

Haug's was at the NE corner of High Road and Gordon (then Glenmore St.). No, I'm not 100, but I feel like it some mornings!

Twofingers, Good list, congratulations! Remember Saan's coffeeshop, and McClouds in Capri, heck, Capri getting built?

[twofingers]

Yes - Tha Capri - still to this day, there are hundreds of feet of tunnels throughout the entire mall. It was Joe Capozzi's dream to build a major centre with a high-rise office building. The second floor - above what used to be Wosk's and the Liquor Store - (where Dr. DeGruchy and Dr. Weisbeck used to have their offices) has a big square open area in the middle - that was going to be the elevator shafts.
Remember when the second swimming pool was on the 7th floor?
Remember when Capri Electric used to have a shop in trhe mall?

Can anyone tell me all of the names that Creekside Pub and Grill has had over the years? I've only got three but apparently there was more?

[Queen K]

Adeles, Bourbon Street, and ???

[stardriftinhorses]

I think it's those 3 but variations of the endings on them... Not sure

[twofingers]

Seems to me that the Creekside was called both Toro's and The Matador.....

[stardriftinhorses]

There are apparently 7 names

[stardriftinhorses]

So here is the list of all the names Creekside has been called.

1) The Matador Inn
2) El Toro
3) The House of Don Steen
4) Bourbon Street
5) Adel's Creekside Pub
6) Adel's Creekside Pub & Ribhouse
