THE 59 WESTON
This is 59 West Avenue in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I fondly remember 59 West as I'm sure many of my friends do.
It was all started by Mme Rouge, Jason and me. Jason and I moved out of our cockroach infested apt and Mme Rouge moved out of that little box she was living in for a better life in Riverdale South. We actually moved there mostly because of the big deck. I mean who can resist a BIG DECK? There were lots of parties and lots of roommates.
59 West saw Jason move to Calgary then back to 59 West again. Many other people came and went as roommates. What's really funny is a lot of people who lived there became friends after the fact because of a connection to that house (people have an automatic connection since they most likely would know someone in common). One of my best friends lived at that house long after I moved out and the only reason we met was because of a connection to that house.
I must admit I did get spoiled when Mme. Rouge and I shared it alone (no third room mate), we had one floor each. Then when a third and later a fourth person moved in I moved out...it was just too crowded.
Anyway for those of you who know 59 West, I'm sure you know it well, as for the rest of you...you'll never know what you missed. It was like a Frat house where everyone had lots of money to spend and no one went to school.
Well we did keep it in the family for a very long time didn't we?
It's for rent
59 West, I don't think it’ll be the same but you could always try.
Maybe Mitzee could move there?

omg!
Ah, memories. The pride parties. Me always trying to covertly turn the ugly overhead living room light down. Me, immobilized, on the couch watching Dallas reruns while Doug kept on trying to talk to me. YJA trying to get me to get into Jerry Springer. Glitter Bob.
We so have to throw a 10-year anniversary party this year... get together all of the former residents.
I miss that place... I threw up there so many times....memories.
I love that place. So many nice people and parties and such a great deck. I just lived every day in the blur of the moment, not knowing what a special place 59 West would have in my memory bank. I'm really sorry about Sideshow Bob. He had terrible hygiene. I'm sorry for making you guys live with him.
just knowing the amount of sperm you all must have left in that place, along with paul's puke, i'm turned off, but it's GORGEOUS...I doubt I could afford it, but that deck sounds great. and let's be honest, Jason moved back to RED DEER his birth place, not CALGARY...hello? :)
again you are being nice to mitzzee...i'm sure you must have been on ativan when you posted this.

Yes, I remember Mme Rouge would from some reason stick her head in the Living Room while I was watching TV and dim the lights then leave the room....It drove me nuts.
I remember being in trouble for making noise when Dallas was on.
Glitter Bob was a whore!
Paul - Yes you did throw up there a lot. Isn't that basically where you learned to binge drink?
I didn't live there for sideshow Bob. But I do remember how scritchy he was.
Oh Mitz - I can't be nice to you, ever? I guess you're just not used to kindness. You could have the room I lived in...It didn't see much action when I lived there. I believe its Medicine Hat not Red Deer.
PS I don't take the drugs! Drugs are for the feeble minded. Ask Tom Cruise (Don't ask Brooke)
What ever Taders!
That hot, dusty, little place was such a great memory. Especially when I fell over the stairs (recall, there are no bannisters) and when I tried to drive my car through the micro driveway and prayed I didn't scrape the side. Or the lazy goth woman downstairs who never did anything in the common areas and filled the recycling bin full of Kraft Dinner.
That being said, I liked it.
