dewlineYou might remember a newsstand-turned-gift shop/art supply house on Elgin called the Gifted Type, that I mentioned relatively recently as getting out of newspapers and magazines?
Well, two weeks earlier, I found out they've gotten out of storefront retail, too. Online-only, nowadays. I found out when I visited Perfect Books to see how their expanded floor space is serving their needs as a retailer...and walked over to find out that their old Elgin Street floorspace was being refitted for a new tenant.
Not happy about this. I'd been dealing with them since moving to Ottawa under their old name and an earlier, more southerly location on Bank Street under another, cruder name and different ownership back in 1985.
I see that their website has not yet been updated to reflect this news.
