Lou's Boot Corner has since been succeeded by a John Fleuvog Shoes location. Not a place I feel comfortable shopping for footwear, even when I'm financially healthier these days because "high end".

As for Globe Mags and Cigars two doors northwards, there, in the same image...that's a newsstand I want to start visiting again, because New York Times hardcopy editions. I fear for the people running the store, as much as for the store itself right now.

I fear for a number of local stores. One example -- our gluten-free bakery, while they *could* stay open with curb service, decided they couldn't meet safety requirements and have closed for the duration. It's a small place, and I really wonder how deep their pockets are.

There are a lot of food service operations in similar straits across the planet, I fear.

So many places that I wish I'd photographed in Phoenix that no longer exist. Some I photographed after they closed, before the signs were taken down.

I know that feeling. There's a lot of places across Ottawa and Gatineau...well, some I was able to get imagery of. I haven't uploaded all of those yet.

Really?! The NY Times? In Canada? Nice!!

I want that newsstand to still be on York Street selling that paper when it's safe enough to go downtown again.
