RIP Filmores.
 

The place was a dive, but beautiful one. So much hot tang in there too.. RIP.

aww man, you mean TO right?

total dive but a club that really put their dancers first. also the most flattering lighting of any club in the city. remember working the music at a club a few blocks away and chicas would take their regs to F cuz you just could not look anything but super-model beautiful in their VIP

I spent a lot of money there over the years as a patron, don't regret a cent of it

also the chicken spot down the block, everyone went there after closing before hitting the after-hours on Church

good times. RIP indeed

Yeah they sold the place. Probably some heartless, boring, sterile looking condos going in there where shit bag boring people can live.

I remember being drunk at 3am in that chicken joint and just a block away some guys got into a shoot out. Didn't even know it till the next day when it was on the news. Good times.. Also it was the place I met some gfyers in real life there. There is pictures on fubar if the site is still around.

:thumbsup

Indeed. So true. The new condos are even going to be called "Filmore's"...

Great memories.

It's always sad to see a strip-joint go . . .

no, they are called 'lifestyle communities'. neighbours who never talk to each other than when they argue at condo board meetings about the color the curtains of the whole building should be

aka where real life goes to die


@Martin what was your timeline on F? for me it was mid-nineties through 2001. prob never got in any pics as I have a grand total of 5 non-porn pics of me that exist online or off after age 8, I've never liked being in pics

now in the age of phone zombies glued to capturing every moment via screen rather than experiencing it, I've perfected a ninja-style duck a cover

so reminiscing also over not everyone always being glued to their fucking phone to capture shit instead of living it

will check that out though, the non-creepy pre-phone zombie pics. Fubar is def still around. would be cool to recognize someone. memories for faces never fade

if y'all hung out at the 'gallery' with the aquarium and sauna til dawn after a night at F we prob bucked up. if you recall a skinny paleface always either dancing or writing poetry in the corner couch under the fish swimming that was me

I feel old reminiscing, I should focus on what will be new and amazing tomorrow. but I can do both

so yeah, tipping a bottle, had I a bottle or a place to pour it out without disturbing the cat on my lap

to good memories and to not buying into the pretense of a lifestyle rather than an actual life

all y'all still in Toronto have a responsibility to not let that happen *stern glance*
