The place you are thinking of was called Breadspreads or the temperance society, and was on Temperance Street. They have closed and now it is an Indian restaurant. There are still some messenger folks who hang out there but a better bet is probably the York and Adelaide intersection...south-east corner. Now the un-official messenger hang-out spot. DO NOT go to Cy's. You will get ripped off by them. Most of the better companies won't usually hire rookies but it is still worth a shot. Try the yellow pages under courier service. The better companies in Toronto include Messengers International, Critical Path, United Messengers, and Speedy. If you can manage to get in with one of these operations you can expect to make some $ right off the bat. If not take what you can get.....get a few weeks-months under your belt....meet a few more established messengers and get a referral to a better company. The warm season is coming to a close and the student-fair weather types will be hibernating soon, so there should be a glut of available jobs out there come late September. Good luck.
