It seems like yesterday that I opened the Sony Store in Bayshore in 1998 and bought my lunches at the Independent Grocer. They had a conveyor at the front where the old folks could drop their groceries and staff would take them out to the car for them...I think Billings Bridge is the last grocery store in Ottawa with this service... One time a workmate and I bought some food there at lunch and he paid with a $5 bill that was fake (unbeknownst to him) and mall security came up with the police later in the afternoon and questioned us for a couple of hours. They even played good cop/bad cop and sequestered us individually with the bad cop yelling 'WHERE IS THE MONEY MACHINE?!?' Then there was Savoury's for a few months, which was basically Farm Boy before the market was ready for Farm Boy...and was there a Market Fresh? I'm not sure, I know there was a Market Fresh where DeSerres is now in St. Laurent... then Les Ailes De La Mode... then the redevelopment with the new hallways and Winner's Homesense.
