Not too far from that building also was the fish place and damn did it stink when you went around there lol. But there was a little back alley that also went through the back of them building's that were on that corner.
But yes the Drake was on the opposite corner. And was one of the rough bar's back than. And there was another bar close by that was on Pitt steeet down by the market area but more closer too where the old st vincent de paul was .
