Why can't I submit an answer to Words & Wordplay?
I've been trying for 20 minutes, have removed practically all punctuation; they're still on coffee break! Meanwhile, I'm answering in another category.
And why do they suggest I post my question to Sports--Hockey?
2 AnswersWords & Wordplay1 decade agoWhat's with Yahoo repeatedly blocking my answer with their coffee breaks?
I answered the same question (re Alan Paton's "Cry, the Beloved Country") four times, over the course of four hours, and each time got notified they were on coffee break when I went to submit it! I'm frustrated, aggravated and fed up! I would imagine the person who asked the question, who's had no replies, may be a tad frustrated as well.
5 AnswersBooks & Authors1 decade ago1960s: Avenue Road hotel, cocktail lounge Summerhill?
Can anyone tell me the name of a hotel on the east side of Avenue Rd in the block north of Bloor? Don't know when it opened but it was definitely there through most of the 1960s.
And a very exotic cocktail lounge/restaurant located near Summerhill subway station, East Asian with palm trees & bridges ... maybe "Ports of Call"?

2 AnswersOther - Canada1 decade agoToronto Centre 1911, 87 Elm: What was this? (146 elderly men and women 'inmates')?
Census 1911 lists Arthur McLaughlin, wife and two young sons; 146 inmates; no live-in servants at this address (now a heritage site). Might it have been a nursing home (perish the thought)?
