Show Biz was a student hangout when I was attending Ryerson–a place to unwind with friends and enjoy good food and beer. The super long curly fries were memorable, and it was the first place where tried escargot (very tasty!). There is a view of Edward Street out the window–location of Toronto landmark, The World’s Biggest Bookstore.
You’ll notice a stubby beer bottle in the foreground and a long neck bottle in the background. In the years 1982-1986 there was a transition from the stubby to the long neck. I miss the stubby, but it is available now from some craft brewers.
My friends Mark and Iris are sitting over by the window, likely talking about photography. I miss those days.
