Oddly enough ,Piazza Tomasso did not include any contact info in their ad.Now i know most Montrealer's would easily have known where the restaurant was,however ,the ad is directed at visitors to 'Host their Hosts' ....not even a phone number let alone an address in the ad.

Now you what's really scary boys & girls,.that was Canada's 100th anniversary of Confederation,.well it's only 5 more years until the 150th,

How about this, long before Miss Piggy & Kermit the Frog were an Item,or any of the Muppetts were even in existence,.a young Jim Henson (& Raymond Scott) collaborated to make & produce this very short film for Expo 67.......
