Even now many Toronto residents go. So many people I know have just gotten back from going to Buffalo for shopping.

Interesting to see that apparently the Canadian currency had enough value back then to make Buffalo a budget shopping destination. Did the huge shopping spree occur in the 80s or something when you were probably a witness to it, or did it overlap the rumoured Sunday flockings to Buffalo because shops were closed in "Toronto the good" in the 70s or so?
