I remember being taken to the Viscount for swimming lessons as a very young child. And going to the CKWW studios on the top floor when my parents enrolled me in the "Tepperman's Junior Announcer" contest. After the taping, they gave me some consolation prizes and some other kid with a cute peppy voice won that month. ;)
The picture could have been taken form the ANR Building, now One Woodward, as the view looks straight down Goyeau St. Ouelette is more opposite Griswold.
I went there many times to that top resterant because the menues were excellent & good view.
Stayed there on the wedding night before travelling away.
I was there on a windy day & you could feel the building moving.
No wonder it is not there today.
Old memories removed including that wife also!
