Hotel Rooms: Riviera Hotel and Beer Parlour

hotel rooms: Like dominoes, every act, every event falls into place from that starting point, according to Huffington Post Canada. As I look back on my 80 years, one such moment stands out. These defining moments or turning points alter a life's course profoundly. As a child of peasant Ukrainian immigrants, I spoke only Ukrainian until I entered school at Duke of York Public School in Toronto. The Riviera, at King and Sherbourne, was a renowned whore house, beer parlour and hangout for the infamous Mickey McDonald gang. I lived in hotel rooms in the Riviera Hotel that my father ran.
