I feel like maybe I'm being a bit thick here, but there's no way for people to go to... news sites?

I have around 1,000 records, and that one is the one I play most often. Such a stellar record. Transports me right back to that time.

If you haven't read it, I can't recommend his autobiography highly enough. He has a fascinating story.

Well, that was a fantastic read. Took about an hour with looking up some of the references they make and getting deeper into a few things. Thanks for posting!

The thing is, DDO's culture isolates it from the Mile End just as much as Vancouver's culture isolates it from Red Deer's. I get the sentiment, but it's a big province, and a big country with all kinds of different ways of going about things. As a Quebecker, I don't see a situation that's different from anywhere else in Canada. Save for the language, but that's just a language. It definitely is nice to have nice things here, though. :)

Last time I was there (more than 10 years ago now) it was on 109 and Jasper. Interesting that it's moved again. Yeah, it was on the same road as Sherlock's but on the other side of that intersection. It was a really lovely spot. I used to see Jann Arden there a lot. Weird detail to remember.

Amazing! I didn't spot it straight off. Spent my 20s in the Bistro Praha and at Rigoletto's. So glad they found a new spot for The Bistro. The fried breaded cheese is the best food I've ever eaten. From anywhere. And it's not even close.
