This became TBQ's Other Place
Which is now the location of a WFCU and a Remax office, correct?
I loved the Knotty Pine! The food and the atmosphere were amazing. I was so disappointed when it changed. The original rom of the Other Place was the old restaurant but then it sprawled into a gigantic food factory. Mind you The Other Place was pretty good. Spent many a Sunday brunch and one memorable New Year's Eve there but I still missed the Knotty Pine. And now even that's gone. The same people (TBQ) had the restaurant in the Holiday Inn Select on Huron Line at Malden for awhile at least but it was never the same as the Other Place.
I had no idea this was anything but TBQ's The Other Place. Very Interesting! Does anyone remember when it changed over from the Knotty Pine?
I think it must have changed over in the very late 60's/very early 70's. They had another location in Cambridge Ontario and that location lasted a little longer, probably until the early 80's. I remember people raving about it.
i don't recall ever eating there but i remember my mother mentioning the KNOTTY PINE
I remember going to the one in Cambridge on Fountain street. It had that staircase that went down from the front entrance to a huge loft dining area. The parking lot was next to the river. It was always busy. I don't think there was a better restaurant in Waterloo region. I wonder why they went under?? They had the best ambiance and location. Now the Cambridge one is called the Pines. http://www.pines.ca/index.html The only place that even came close to it imo was the Old Mill? restaurant with the stone facade next to the Grand River and that dam with the small falls in Elora. I never went to the Knotty Pine in Windsor, but it looks like it'd be right up there up in popularity like the one in Cambridge. Boy, does that bring back memories...
Ok, this may be a dumb question but the phone #... I know yo 9-4810 meant 969-4810, but how did you dial it? Sorry I started using the phone in the 1970's.
Ever notice the letters on the keys? 2 - ABC, 3 - DEF....not that hard to figure out.
Ok Richie...not that dumb, I do understand the 2- ABC .... Just didn't know if you could dial directly that's all.
