[78-L] An update to www.cool78s.com

[David Lennick]

At that time, Sam was still on College Street (I was wheeled into that store 
when I was about a year old). He opened his first Yonge Street location in the 
back of Yolles Furniture, south of Dundas, in about 1959..once he determined 
that there was enough business, he opened the big store north of Gould and just 
a couple of doors down from the long-established A&A. Both were just south of 
my grandfather's store (Paige Credit Jewellers) so I was no stranger to the 
area..nor to Frank's cheeseburgers and chocolate shakes right on the corner of 
Yonge and Dundas. Between Sam's and the A&A was Steele's Tavern, where Gordon 
Lightfoot entertained in the 60s (and which was a major hangout for us Ryerson 
students).
