Bank Street

[Jim Cochrane]

Hi ... if you are interested in Old Ottawa South businesses you might want to visit or call the Barley Mow in the afternoon ... Shannon would know how to get to 'Larry' who is a middle aged guy who has always lived in OOS, and also 'John' another long term resident who is retired I believe ... and as a boy John would visit the hobos who lived where Carleton is now ... they both know a great deal about the neighbourhood ... Cal at Roy Barbers has photos of Bank Street businesses that his father took in the 1950's, Kathy may have those ... in 1972 at the corner of Ossington was a Muzak Corporation tape machine in the middle of the room ... it wasn't open and I never saw any people in the 'store' ... Kathy knows much more than I do ... Larry and John would know Lens Meat Market and Carlos restaurant from the 1970's ... Jim ...
