Woman says she recognizes herself in iconic 1979 photo of Toronto Toronto
."I often wonder if shag guy and friend know they are so often the image of 70s Toronto, and where are they today.""The women are myself on the left and my brother's gf at the time Mary," Karen Purcell wrote in the comments."It was 1979 we were under age and dressed up in hopes of being served at the Hard Rock which we were. Remember this pic being taken cause we were worried we might be found out. The guys were just 2 other people that were there having drinks.
"I remember him telling me it was for an 'archive' series and that it won't be seen for years so I was ok with it," she said.To those who have since suggested the two women don't look young enough to be underage in the photo, Purcell, now in her fifties, told blogTO:"The whole point of dressing like that was to appear older," adding that"drinking age was 19.
The photo is in the Toronto Archives as part of a series of Yonge Street photos. It is listed as being taken from between 1978 and 1989.
