• i only ate there once in my life i think. maybe once with my parents, but i think once with my first love danielle too in the 80s.

• all roads lead to top hat. is that add saying you could get a.....top hat credit card?

  that's a pretty cool looking waiter above the door there too.
  andrew, was the top hat anything else before it was top hat? the building looks to date back much further(maybe mid 20's), and might have had some gi-normous windows that look "recently" bricked in in that picture.
  hmmm....arn't those the god awful flower pots the city has spread all over the place?

• cool

• I knew some great stars played there but as a huge bobby Vinton fan I never realized his presence graced our city streets. How I long to have known those days of great lounge acts and big band singers.
  Today all we have are kiddie bars catering to drunk buffoons and whore-ish girls playing "music" much too loud with no decent talent. Too bad Windsor has lost it's only charm and elegance. Now we have nothing, truly nothing to boast about at all. Stay unclassy Windsor!

• It is sad to see that link to a bygone era finally disappear. However, the people who went to Top Hat in the day were young, affluent people. Today's version would not likely be interested in a supper club, and who would perform? Kid Rock? Jessica Simpson? Jewel?

  What's left of popular music will never produce original talent like in those days. I find it interesting that video games "RockBand" are introducing kids to AC/DC and rock and roll!

  One way for Windsor to get rid of the drunks downtown is to raise the age to 21 in Ontario. That would eliminate the kids crossing from the US, which is 80% of the problem. Then ban serving alcohol past 12am and enforce it with severe fines, losing liquor licenses. Then start ticketing drunken behavior - pay now or sit in jail until you do.

• To all - Windsor once had more international super star entertainers walking the streets of Windsor and Essex County due to the power of CKLW.
  The day Trudeau signed the Canadian Content Law , Windsor was sacrificed.

• JB, the passport requirement will do it anyway. I for one can't wait until it happens. Maybe then Windsor city hall might actually re-build the downtown for residents instead of young alcoholics. But I am with you on the drunken behaviour tickets. Pay up or rot in jail, your choice!

• The province does have laws on the books concerning public intoxication. Maybe just a matter of ascertaining if Windsor Police Service is enforcing this downtown or not. And if not.... why? Coming out of the bar with a buzz-on is one thing, but busting windows, urinating in doorways, and waking residents at 3am is clearly unfair to the people who call downtown home.

• John - Stop being such a naysayer.

  Downtown is perfect just as it is! Fun for the whole family! ;)

• I'm gonna second or third what was said on police throwing the book at drunken behaviour in downtown. I had a large window smashed last weekend. A door graffittied the other. Just pointless drunken vandalism.

  Oh, I wish I could catch whoever did it to deliver some street justice, but short of that, police should be more active in pulling these drunken guys off the street. Police should also be more active in inspecting bars and pulling liquor licenses for being one of the causes. There's absolutely no respect for the property of others in downtown.
