(ABOVE) CHOO at 97 McMaster Avenue - April 1983. Photo by David Webster. Thanks David. That's his car on the left beside weekend newsman Jay Mandell's car on the right - which means this was probably taken very early on a Saturday morning. Brrr! This was CHOO's home from November 1967 until late October 1990 when it moved to Suite 201, 339 Westney Road.
