308:366-November 3-Down On The Corner
Before the day of late night grocery stores, 7/11 and CircleK the independently owned Corner Store was the hub of the neighbourhood. The owners were known by everyone and in turn they knew all their regular customers. Stopping in would always lead to a chat and a chance to catch up with other neighbours who just happened to be there. Sadly these little stores are closing, one by one, as they are not able to compete with the supermarkets and the chain stores . I have to say I feel so fortunate to have the memories of the neighbourhood "Corner Store"
