I frequented Unknown Worlds here in Toronto when it was over past Pape eastwards, on the south side of Danforth Avenue in the late 1980s, then after UW moved to five or six blocks west to its second location near Chester Station on Line 2 (TTC subway line, formerly known as Bloor-Danforth). I believe business was so poor by the end that the shuttering happened within four or five years, probably before I finished high school at Danforth Tech near Greenwood- I was a close friend and custom of Rob Charpentier from 1992 until 1999 when he ran the Shining Knight with his brother Chris- around 1996 or 1997. I graduated from the three-year Classical Animation Degree program at Sheridan College's Trafalgar Campus in June of 1999.
I'll be going to the Toronto Comic Arts Festival at the Metro Reference Library tomorrow morning, so I'm getting my art supplies ready and what I'll be bringing to draw with, along with my laptop and a couple of SSDs in USB enclosures.
