Regular reader Darren was kind enough to send along this crop of an image that he took in the early 1980’s.
In it you can see the former Viscount Hotel (marked with a red dot). He apologized for the lousy quality, but any photo is better than none at all. So a big thanks to Darren for sending the photo.

As you can see in the ad, the Viscount was located at 1150 Ouellette Ave. Today, 1150 is the site of a parking lot.
Located directly to the west of the Bell Building on Goyeau. Hands down the tallest building demolished in Windsor’s history.

Does anyone remember the "underground" radio station that was in Viscount Building? I think was it CJCS radio or something like that? I remember hearing David Bowies first song on that station. Would love to hear from anyone who remembers that station.
Nancy, I worked in the Viscount Smoke and Gift Shop from 1975 to 1981, and the only radio stations were CKWW on the 19th floor and CJOM in the Macabees building. My cousin George Corchis was one of the original owners.
Would anyone have a picture of the Viscount bar? My brother got the bar top when it was torn down and now my son has it and is having it refinished for the bar he is building. I have searched the internet for a pic so he can put it behind the bar but can't find any pics.
