Also...where was Prairie Lanes in relation to Hollywoods? I can't for the life of me remember how that was situated...with the mini-golf beside it too. Anyone have any old pictures of the lot?

Yes,
Hollywoods was located at the present-day
Canadian Tire (north). Your friends are in error about that for I was 23 (in 1989) when I frequented that "establishment". I don't remember where
Prairie Lanes were, but it seems to me that it was located within the same block(?). Also, there used to be a
Smitty's (directly accross the street from Seven Oakes). Moreover yet, located accross Cdn Tire, there was a country bar called
Gillies(?) And before Gillies, there was an AMC dealership called
Macton Motors. I know THAT for a fact 'cause that is where my mother purchased a '73 Gremlin!!!
All of these preceded the present-day
Toys 'R Us.
