-sad
-😥
-😢
-Was always the best place in town to gather with friends!! Fun memories shared there. Its a building...the memories are forever remembered
-wow, looks a little different that the last time I saw it. It appears maybe they are now working on it??
-All those Friday and Saturday nights playing music with Gary, Paul and the gang ... sigh.
-Great days- great band- lot's of fun
-Lots of memories , lots fun times and lots of hangovers.
-Lots of Good times & drinks!
-I went there for the first time when I was 16. Back then (1973) bars weren't that strict about checking ID. I ended up getting rather inebriated, and it didn't go over very well with my parents when I got home and they saw the state I was in. My dad was so mad when he found out that I'd been at the Station House that he wanted to report them and have their liquor licence taken away. He never did, but imagine if they had ended up losing their licence because of me.
-I can’t imaging you daring to get drunk at 16! Goodness, David, how could you have been such a big part of my life yet be living this secret wild-child life. Oh, wait a minute... were you with me and Ev? 🤣🤣🤣
-I went their for my birthday when the drinking age dropped to 18. Glenn called me a Bratt and said I had been drinking their for a year already. He was a good friend of my mom and dad's and a great guy. I've never met anyone who could slap draft on the table as fast as he could. Spent many a weekend night their.
-Hahaha... sounds like a rite of passage, Bill Greig. He did much the same to me (except he bought me my first legal drink).
-Dwayne and I used to talk every morning at his door about stocks, coffee, when his mom ran the place and the times when Orsen Wells used to sit at the bar
-😭
-Not many hotels had a child's swingset in the side yard.
-Lots of fun memories for me
-our great grandfather (Harry Wright) purchased the hotel
-You should post some of the road hockey videos of the games we played in the parking lot with Greg Thoms as the colour commentator.
-I have those!
-Your dad had us working out on the men's side one Sunday. We were doing push-ups on our knuckles with you on our back :)
-Great childhood memories 💞💞💞
-Believe this was purchased in 1913
-Morris would have been around at that time also.
-Used to skip school to go here
-What is the plan for it moving on?
-There were a few of us who skipped school and staggered home from the Station House back in the days
-The plan Neil ? Not to sure. Habitat owns it now so let's see what they decide.
-Went there for lunch when working afternoon's at Smith and Stone, only we didn't eat.
-Lunch break on 2nd shift at paper mill. I was still in HS but I guess Glenwright(sp) thought it was 👌.
-Glenwright was a wonderful friend and neighbour
-Remember it well. Just a good ol' local watering hole
-A lot of memories there.
-Never been there 😄
-You must have lived a sheltered life lol
-You missed great Georgetown bar.
-just was not a bar person lol
-Yes you were. Just different ones . I hung out with you.
-loved Brackens 😂the old one by the bowling alley
-Yes it was fun. I watched your teen girls grow up.
-Yes I use to skip school and go there myself. Glen Wright used to make me a drink called the hillick hammer. Need I say more. Lol
-My two sons loved going there said food was the best ,not to sure about that ,was always handy for a beer when getting off the go train
-Glen and I started our Kai Shin Karate club there, we'd clean up Sunday morn, stack all the chairs, and teach till noon. Probably taught half the guys in Georgetown.
-I never went there but you use to live near my Uncle Will and my cousins Mark and Robyn
-Remember gig playing drums upstairs Mr hillock kept piece of garden hose in freezer for those that use to get out of hand
-Lived on Union St. Was able to go there on Fridays listen to my brother in law ad play in his band and then stagger home.
-I remember the two sides.
-Awww. I always felt like I was stepping into a magical storybook land when I would go to the train station, with the stone station house and the red gingerbread house with the big white porch
-Worked there couple of years Thursday and sat nights. Remember when they put the new breeze way in on the ladies side. I had to throw a guy out the 1,st door ( push bar) and then right through the breezeway. He came back the next day and paid for it :)
-Many parties there. I loved the Hillock Hammers
-Glennwright's drink he invented
-LOL. No comment
-...no comment... lol
-Sure did attended classes when you moved to Armstrong ave
-Rocking to Station House at The Station House .. guys, you couldn't sit on our escort side without one of us females .. best way to meet guys .. lol!! Ken proposed to me there 44 years ago ❤❤
-I had a couple there myself one day lol
-Ernie used to go over to the hotel on Sunday mornings to help Glenwright clean up after the Saturday night crowd......a place to hang out for a few hours and be with friends!
-Where is this, exactly?
-At the train station in Georgetown
-Thanks, Wayne.
-Had good Times there.stoped in when I worked at hi los
-Draught at 25 cents, bottles at 50 cents. Money went further in those times. Food was also great. Wonderful times with great friends. School? Skipped the occasional class, but that’s okay, we were planning our futures. 🤓🍺
-when I started there it was 15 cents a draft . six glasses for 90cents and leave a dime tip.
-We had fun there😄
-Even though I’ve been away from Georgetown many years, I feel sad knowing this place that we enjoyed is now gone. Will something else be built there?
-I was teaching grade 11 physics when in comes this student 10 minutes late. I waved him to his seat so not to disturb the lesson. 10 minutes later the young man stands up looking rather pale. He starts walking toward my desk. He stops and says sir can I go the the wash....on that word he barfs up on my desk then ran to the washroom. Needless to say the lesson was a shambles after that. I sent one student going insane to the front office to get a VP. Turns out the puking student had spent his entire lunch hour at the hotel celebrating his 19th birthday.
-Mr. Cotton. You were the teachers we loved. You understood growing us growing up.
-Oops meant you understood us growing up.
-In today's world we would all have been suspended. For how long who knows never mind the paper trail.
-Wasn't me. :]
-Ya right
-No Kelly, the teacher would have been dragged to the carpet, and chastised for not understanding the needs of the student and tending to them, avoiding a very embarrassing situation. The student would be sent home after school hours to avoid any unpleasant home life repercussions
-I was in that class. LOL. Not me though.
-Thinking about this some more, the drinking age back then was 18 not 19. The next year the daughter of the Premier of Ontario Bill Davis turned 18. The legal drinking age was then changed to 19. Coincidence, maybe.
-Ya right Wendy. Rob was to Drunk was there for that one...
-he never came back :( he went home.
-The nearby McNally Contruction Office from the old days is now a micro-brewery.
-Liquid lunches on Fridays.......YEARS ago. :P
-at least they closed it in before winter got in and completely ruined it. (I haven't the foggiest how they'll resurrect it..?)
-Rocking spot back in the day
-Wow that truly breaks my heart
-Coach cotton ...I think it was you and coach bingham that told us no more mouthwash...... We were drinking before practice every other day. ....
We switched to toothpaste.

-Skipping school with Robin Hillock to sit in the back kitchen and Glenwright would ask us "what do you want to try" we were underage and tried lots off the cocktail list...Golden Cadillac, Screw Drivers, Tom Collins, Rusty Nail. We were so drunk we had to bounce down the red carpet stairs! Sad to see it gone. A part of history
-Not many called it The Exchange Hotel.
-Had the t-shirt has not fitted for years
-I spent a lot of time in that old building, probably more than I should have.The Karate part was good for me however, except my left knee doesn't think so.
-I spent a lot of Friday nights & some Thursday nights at the hotel either playing or listening to a particular band that I liked at the time, When I should have been at the papermill when I was supposed to be on the afternoon shift or midnights..In those days at the papermill if your relief didn't come in for there shift you were stuck working & that was it.My crew on the coater was Henry Lorriman, Bob Davidson on the wet end & myself & Dave Cunningham,then Fred Hilts Ralph Presswood, Tom Clark,ralph Bludd,& a few others whose names escape me right now, on the dry end (windup) on #1 coater...Ken...
-A lot of memories from the 70's .Really a great spot.Remember the two sides.Never sure what Glenwright was saying, bless his soul.
-Picked good ole Pete up from there the odd night, never was I inside!
-If you lived at John and Victoria and the wind was blowing in the right direction and no trains were going by you could hear the music.
-Can't forget the leaning fridge
-Sure it was the fridge that was leaning?
-It was an adventure when we had to change the beer kegs:)
-The only memory I have of the Station House was that I was told to stay away. I never knew anything about it. I never knew why I was told not to go there.
-We were always told to stay away from the Gibby
-Yeah - same here, I never saw the insides of either of those places. Mom didn't let Dad go either - lol!
-I was told to stay away from both places too. See we listened to our parents. Lol.
-Why the hell don't they just knock the rest of this eyesore down n haul it to the dump, is beyond me ...
-I tend to agree. The original structure that we see there is old...the beams looked hand hewn to me, some of them pegged? But, it's in a sad state. A good percentage of those beams are rot.
-I agree. Why leave it look this. Didn't take long to knock down the arena. Seems like the watering holes mean more
-That is so true knocked down the arena and those houses along Mill Street in no time at all, but they left this eyesore , I do not understand , the way some so called SMART PEOPLE THINK !!!!!!
-It hasn't been knocked down all the way because it's a registered heritage building. Habitat is incorporating this part into the homes they are building. Whenever that is....
-Too many high schools lunches spent there.....lol.
-Another Local establishment where I enjoyed having a beverage
-The reason they have left it the way it is now is they are going to move it aside to build 4 or 5 habitat homes, then move it back somewhere & make it a habitat home as well.Probably waiting to get enough money to do it.
-I hear that may not happen they just want to tear it down :(
-This is probably the cheapest route , they should have knocked the whole thing down in the first place , and not left this eyesore looking mess standing as long as it has ...
-Glenwright was the best!
-Sounds like a lot of fun at that place. Always heard about it but never went.
Had more fun skipping a class or two once and drinking beer down in Cedervale. Only to walk back from woods into Cedervale parking lot to find both teachers we skipped class 
on smoking a joint in his car. Well now.....kinda a stand off situation.
He told us to get back to school this instant! One of my buddies laughed and said "yeah right, like you can make us eh?". Teachers both looked and laughed. 
Never was a word said the rest of highschool.

-wasn't me! LOL
-"That's fact chief"
-U mean no habitat homes?
-Lotta good time spent there
-Good Times with a Lot of Great People there
-Glenwright wheeling around with 2 trays of draught stacked
-Think that I remember having a couple of beers in there ,sitting at the round table on the men's side.
-Paul Henderson scoring the winning goal to take down the mighty Russian machine.

I remember this place. Dated a guy who I think his parents owned it. Also, went to school with Robin Hillock. Her dad saved my *** one night when a party at my house got out of control, he cleared that house in less than a minute, I’m still grateful.
