Accross the street use to be an IGA on one corner and a small parking lot on the other side. I remember the IGA was already closed by the early mid 90's and was closed for quite a bit of time before they tore it down and built the condo.
I knew about the GMC dealership, but did not know about the IGA. Man, used to go to Trocodero's during the high school days. That place was very popular. Not anymore from what I see. All those times going to Trocodero and never looked that way. Mind you, we always came from 1st Ave when we went to Trocodero's.

I'm trying to think what other restaurants existed back then that aren't around anymore. Little Billy's? Plum Blossum on Renfrew and Grandview Hwy. Is Nick's Spaghetti House on Commercial still around?
