Blast From The Past

I go by this corner store fairly often and always look at it and wonder what it is like inside. The outside seems as if it could be from the 40s and all the old features and signs are still there. I'll have to go in one day. Our snow is all gone now.

  3. I like the looks of it too, and I'd be going in to check it out as well! It reminds me of the what they called the old corner store which is disappearing fast in neighborhoods these days.

  8. I thought it looked quite modern: you know, 1960s or something...

  11. We love visiting small stores like this, probably because we owned a corner store in England. Just going in and purchasing one small thing helps stores like this stay in business. I hope you get to go inside one day.

  20. Brings back memories of when I was a kid in East York and the local corner store that was a hub for the neighbourhood.

  22. I think the people who run the store live upstairs. The entrance is on the side.
