Les   We just got cable and used to watch a show from the U.S. Where the Action Is. Paul Revere and the Raiders were the house band. First time I heard Born to be Wild was on there. Down to Buckley's and got it.You are right might have played it once or twice.  Good Canadian band too..   Lad

Buckley's must have done well,.with all us kids spending whatever dough we had on records,......and picking up the Hit Parade List ,which I think was updated every week??                                            HF&RV

I do remember the 2nd Ave resaurant. Not really a "hang-out" for me though. I was down at Prince George most of the time, or Kosta's when I was working at Bannantyne Pharmacy near Godin.   Are you related to Debbie Toohey (used to live on 1st near the City Hall)? I've been trying to get in touch with her for quite some time.

We used to hang out at second avenuue pizza.  There was Shirley and Nellie Douglas, Tim Cunningham, Stan Holdaway, Tery Brushette and others. The owners name was Peter and they made a great pizza or fries with gravy.  Jim Jennings
