The Starlight drive-in theatre on Regent.
Big 4 Sales (now Crocus Building); not for the merchandise, but I always loved old buildings.
Juniors Restaurant (esp the one in Transcona)
Christmas on Portage Ave (back in the early 80s)

Hey Wpg'r
Did your Dad take you down the street from Blostein's over to MAX KATZ variety store to buy you some Matchbox cars? On the corner at Day was Johnny's cafe, the Comic book place right around the corner, across the street was the DQ and Whistle PIG.
Were you an Eastender or Westender?
