^It does appear to say Turner, yes.
That's an interesting point actually. I don't know the history of booze sales/ LCBO in Ontario but I do recall that wineries and breweries were allowed to sell from their own stores - not sure when that came to an end. |

Here's an excellent article on the topic, from the Toronto Star. http://on.thestar.com/1FSSsCf |
^Cheers for the clarification.
The whole issue of liquor sales in this province is absurd. |

^It seems King E had a bit of a Yonge St vibe back in the day.

What an interesting streetwall. Lost.

What's the second building beside the Thomas Lees one? Looks interesting.

^Very cool.
This is my earliest recollection of the city centre. Yes, it had pretty much lost its coolness factor but it was still the place to shop: Robinsons, Zellers, Kresge's, a booming Jackson Square, Eaton's etc. After Limeridge, the situation got pretty dire in a real hurry. |
great find of Robinsons and Bank of Hamilton (which later became CIBC)... I wish they stacked those two replacement CIBC towers into one 35-story.
|
I always liked that Robinsons building... and have found memories of the Kresges, Zellers and the underground washrooms at Gore Park.
The one specific thing I remember most about that Robinsons was that they would sometimes use the display window to promote a new album that was just released. It was a big deal to me because I was big into music. I still remember seeing the Eagles "The Long Run" on display in '79 when I was 10 years old. |
