835.3TROOA::DEBOERTue Jun 07 1994 14:542
    Its a suburb of Sarnia on the west as is Toronto to the east.

    Thanks for the info...I am basically looking for a Denver
    to toronto trip and can't get any type of direct flight...Looking for
    a place to fly to thats got a reasonable drive time after it. (3-4
    hrs).

    Try Detroit. It should be about a 3 hrs trip or Buffalo NY. which is
    1 to 2 hrs.

835.6CSC32::S_BROOKThere and back to see how far it isTue Jun 07 1994 16:036
Last time I looked on EasySaabre about 4 weeks ago, there was no direct way 
from Detroit or Buffalo to Denver or Colorado Springs.

And strangely fares were cheaper to Toronto than Detroit or Buffalo!

    In Detroit or Toronto? If it's Toronto you're pretty much out of luck
    as closing time in Ontario is 1AM (except for very rare excemptions
    that get made for special events). There are plenty of good live music
    in Toronto, for blues and blues/rock there's the Black Swan on Danforth and
    Albert's Hall (upstairs at Ye Olde Brunswicke House) on Bloor (I saw
    Albert Collins there a few years ago, Jeff Healy was the warm-up) and
    the Horseshoe on Queen West often has blues. 
835.91am!!!SIOG::KEYESDecadmire Engineering DTN 827-5556Wed Jun 08 1994 12:1710
    
    Thanks.
    
    sounds good..pity about the 1 am closing though...I suppose if its
    a state law its hard to get places that bend the law abit. 
    
    rgs and thanks

    re. .7
    >>>>...Rock,blues and beer -) -)
    
    Detroit and Toronto are fine, but you cannot beat Chicago for that
    stuff (except for the beer, better in Toronto). Just stay longer
    there.
835.11good townSIOG::KEYESWaiting for an alibiFri Jul 08 1994 07:4510
    
    Well toronto not a bad town..found some good places....This 1:00am 
    closing is certainly a myth. Found a couple of very late places but to
    be honest not sure how official they were. Pretty difficult to find.
    
    Thanks for the drining info..spot on 3.5 hrs
