If you remember Flash Cadillac leave us a comment. Was it not the coolest store Ottawa has ever had when it comes to clothing and accessories?

Thank you for the early comment Gloria! Flash Cadillac was on Rideau Street, on the second floor close to the corner with Dalhousie Street.

I've tried to tell my teenaged daughters about it and they can't conceive anything cool outside of the Rideau Centre ever existed.

Mr. Cain - It took you 40+ years to finally spin "Hang On In There Baby" by JOHNNY BRISTOL! I can't believe my eyes. I can't wait to hear it tomorrow. IT WILL BE THE FIRST TIME I WILL EVER HERE IT ON THE RADIO IN CANADA!!!! I'm telling lots of folks on Facebook!

Flash Cadillac had a fun atmosphere. I only went there once in 1979.

It is totally wild to hear Joanne Wilson's "Got To Have You" again! I think that my husband and I haven't heard that since we used to go out in Miami in the late seventies. I brings back memories. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!

I moved to Ottawa in 1979...before I lived for many years on a base and everyone wore the same Jean's etc. First time I went into Flash Cadilac and was so inspired by the fashion. I'd never seen clothes like this before and will never forget this store. It really sent me in a unique fashion direction for sure!
