The algorithmic walk taken in January led us to The Gourmet Emporium (1799 Wyandotte St. E.) We notice that this restaurant had an unusual interior. It was not set up like a typical restaurant or cafe. The two floor restaurant we had come to find out was previously a BMO bank and a hair salon before becoming the Emporium. This location came to mind when we were discussing place and non place in class.
The Great Bank Robbery of '59
The Gourmet Emporium is where the great bank robbery of 1959 took place. We had coffee in a place that was once the site of a cops and robbers real life drama. There were 3 tellers at (what was then the BMO) bank on June 9, 1959.Two men (Nicholas Hamilton and Kenneth Irwin came in wearing white jackets, hoods, black gloves and sunglasses . Armed and ready the robbers took $10, 733.
Both men were arrested and sentenced to jail time at the Kingston penitentiary.
