The Eve Theatre in Toronto as it appears in RABID. There is a theatre marquee announcing PARTY SWAPPERS AND MODELS FOR PLEASURE, BOTH IN COLOR. The marquee is finished at either end by a violet panel on which the word EVE appears, with the V stylized as a woman's open legs. Bottoms up!
The Eve was a real adult theatre, located on a block I walk regularly. #Rabid #Cronenberg #LostToronto

The Manning Arcade stood on the north side of King Street west, between Yonge and Bay streets. It was designed by E.J. Lennox and built in 1883. The distinctive balcony is a way to tell it apart from the Yonge Street Arcade on Yonge Street. wholemap.com/June25 #OTD #Toronto #LostToronto
