Roy's Square is [was?] the little pair of back alleys on the SE corner of Yonge and Bloor: walk E on Bloor and turn S down the [former?] alley just past the [erstwhile?] Harvey's. Why all the uncertainty? Well, you see, the entire square is being demolished to make way for a new 80-story condo development [possibly called Take One Bloor], and all the businesses had to vacate in December. So never mind the restaurant, it isn't even clear whether the street will still be there come March 7. Good luck finding the note! We may have to tape it to the construction crane.).
