The Brass Rail is Toronto's largest strip club and the last night's shooting happened outside it.
I predict it will close in the not too distant future, as the future residents of the multi million dollar condos going up in the area may have a dim view of the Wild West Yonge Street becomes at night.
It may be the only redeeming social function condos ever serve.

Complete doglike (my apologies to actual dogs, but I'm making a point) idiot shoots innocent man outside The Brass Rail
I live just around the corner from this...second time something like this has happened (to my knowledge) since I've lived here. That is WAY too much.
A man walking past a Yonge St. strip club early yesterday became Toronto's second murder victim of 2008 after he was shot in the head by one of two men who had just been thrown out of the club.
Two men have been arrested and face charges of first-degree murder and attempted murder in connection with the incident, which occurred at 1:15 a.m. outside the Brass Rail Club on Yonge just south of Bloor St.
Police say two men were thrown out of the club, started to walk away, then turned back.
One took out a handgun and fired in the direction of a staff member of the club.
But the bullet struck a man who police say was walking past the club.
The victim, who was hit once in the head, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police have not yet released his name.
"The deceased was not the intended target," police said.
They caught the motherfuckers who did this, but this changes nothing. IMHO if you think you need own a gun, let alone use it, you have the IQ of a doorknob. Use it like this and you should exit this existence with the same speed you seem to think others deserve.
