Cross-street: Queen St. West and Beverley
The ground floor may change, but remarkably, the blind in the upper window stayed in the same exact state for twenty years, until HMV carved out both structures for their store. Unpainted became very painted, but a vestige of the cigarette days remained with the Player’s logo, and vestiges of another ending era remain in a store that still sells CDs.
I found the 1983 photo to be one of the funnier ones in the book. “1981 pizza prices”, in 1983. Was it really that much different? How much were you saving? Would “2010 pizza prices” catch anyone’s attention today?
I remember the Pizza Pizza being there!
