Quotations
1958
In a Cabbage Town tavern brawl, on a Saturday night, speed is important.
1966
I have been reading quite a lot of articles in the Toronto newspapers about Cabbagetown taking in Rosedale, the waterfront and even so far west as Spadina Avenue. This is all wrong because Cabbagetown is that part of Toronto lying south of Gerrard Street, north of Queen Street and east of Parliament Street to the Don River.
