I was out on the town one night, wandering around from bar to bar, when I walked down this street and there it was. It scared the hell out of me. I thought I had gone back in time.

- "La Gare" - September 1953.
I spent manay a night in the "Canada Room" in the Gare after travelling from an evening shift at the Chateau by bus. Sometimes we would spend the whole night there. After eating, they had these huge bottles of house wine which was dirt cheap - and of course served with cheese. That's how we spent the night. It is also the place I used to go to have a shower as most of the places that we stayed in on the economy did not have showers - only a sink to wash and shave.
