-At one time Superior, and Eaton's order office to the right.
-Ab's Upstairs??
-Wasn't Ab's the one on Mill Street, around the corner from Cotton Brothers?
-Not sure, I had never been in it.. but there was one upstairs here.. the door was by the coke machine on the left
-Dave is correct. We used to eat lunch in Abs when we were in HS. IT was across from the McGibbon. LOT'S of bookies around at lunch😊
-k.. What was the one upstairs from here? 70s/80s Im guessing..
-yes and Hutchison's was on the main street beside Cotton Brothers.
-Yes the door was by the pop machine,I grew up right across the street.
-I remember it as Rosie's Pool Hall upstairs
-Club Billiards 🎱
-I played pool upstairs in that building and we called it Fred's.
-Union gas was on the corner too, when gas came to Georgetown.
-They went in the store where Eaton's used to be.
-Georgetown Answering Service was upstairs too. Entrance off Weslyan Street.
-Neil's Pool Hall
-My friends and I used to frequent the variety store almost daily! It was the “good” one.
-Superior Grocery's I am pretty sure was where the variety store is now. Owned and operated by the Allan family. I went to school with Connie Allan.
-My very first residence after moving out of my parents place! The two windows on the left above the convenience store😊
-In the 50's and early 60's, you went across the street for meat products at the butcher shop. Got your milk from the dairy (delivered). And the baked treats at the bakery. Then came the supermarkets.
-Eaton's had a store on the corner too where dini & co. are.It was a catalogue store where you ordered from their catalogue.
-Oh yes I remember that now, going in there with my Mom.
-Was Union Gas before or after Eaton's.....not quite sure
-Didn't Sears have a catalog store on Main St. I know the one on Mountainview closed recently.
-Yes. Where foodstuffs is now.
-Yes Sears had a store. I worked there. Same side as McGibbon. I was there in 1986-1989. My mother worked at Eatons which was the 2nd or 3rd store in front the Presbyterian Church.
-At one time Simpson's had an order office on the Main Street too, it was where McMaster's is now.
-I remember the grocery store my mum used to shop there because they delivered
-And to the left of Eaton's/Union Gas was Superiors or Allen's Grocery Store (the owners I think) Way back in the mid sixties
-I recall
-Must be a newbie, I loved The Freckled Lion 🦁 😀
-I worked at Eaton's order office in the mid sixties. It was where Dini's is now.
-Union Gas was there after Eatons. I worked there for Union Gas as did my son Bryan Day
-Funny how the failed business that offered at-home catalogue shopping, like Eatons and Simpsons did, are gone and things like Amazon, Grocery Gateway and now even the Bay will deliver your order to your door or mailbox with just a click on the computer screen.
-Everything old is new again.
-Downtown Video and Variety was my parents store and the sign my brother created 35 years ago still hasn’t been changed
