Hi there,
I didn't realize anyone had answered my question about the Golden Slipper, does your mom remember anything about it?
thanks
Ann

Always a lot of people. Live bands and juke box. There was no development in the area. She thinks there was a boat docked permantly, (in the vicinity of the current ferry dock ) called the Majestic,which was also a dining room and a dance hall. She now has her thinkin' cap on. Will update.(what info are you looking for?)

Don't remember that one but I can remember when the Wonderland Dance Hall on Rothesay Avenue burned down.
and I also remember my mother telling me that she & her crowd danced at the Trading Post at Reversing Falls.
