Do you remember the LaSalle Hotel? - Janet MacD - 04-08-2025

I am a transplanted Torontonian who enjoys looking at a Kingston I never knew. I came across this postcard showcasing the buffet at the LaSalle Hotel in 1959. It looked very much like the cards I saw as a child in Toronto advertising a “famous” buffet there. 

I sought out a card with a picture of the hotel. It’s from 1938. It has a lovely slogan cancel celebrating the Old Home Week held to celebrate Kingston’s centennial. When I bought this card I was not a slogan collector. Now I have to look at all the cards I bought before 2024 to see what other slogans have gone unappreciated!
