Places to be Missed - May 2009
Originally uploaded by dwight_ew

As of this month, I've been visiting this store for a couple of years, mostly for snack items of one sort or another. Stuff I couldn't get closer to home for several different reasons, like aspartame-free chewing gum.

(Yes, there IS such a thing available if you go looking for it, and two different brands to boot! Now if only it were manufactured by a local firm from local raw materials.)

I'm not quite sure as to why they've decided to close up shop, but I've given them my e-mail info if the management decides they want to try at least one more time elsewhere in the downtown neighbourhoods. They've been good people, and such people deserve honest custom.

I will admit I seldom went there, but some things (such as organic vitamin supplements, IIRC) were definitely not seen elsewhere.

I'm sorry to hear this. It always makes me sad when good, local company can't stand up to cheap conglomerates.
