Original Toronto Star caption: They'll soon be drinking a farewell toast to the hotel that beer built; as owner Sidney Strauss; left; refers to the old Metropole at King and York Sts. He recently sold it and the wreckers will be moving in. Waiter Joe Rebelo and manager Harry Jones have many fond memories of the hotel; which had a unique quality for many customers.
