Downtown Yonge with Brian Bradley

Write in the Neighbourhood

Travel to Downtown Yonge with Brian Bradley—but not as it exists today. In his debut book, Outrageous Misfits, Brian traces the lives and careers of female impersonator Craig Russell and his wife Lorie Eadie, largely tied to the neighbourhood’s history of queer spaces and establishments. We spoke to Brian about five waypoints from that era and the enormous transformation that’s taken place since.
