And there is also a London Drugs across the hall from the Nester's.

Inside this hallway, they have a picture from the 1971 (?) downtown riots.

I just got home from Brentwood mall and noticed there was a plaque on some pillar near the Sport Mart. It said this is the location of the old Jack Cullen music store. 1972-1979.

Interesting. Would love to hear more about it if anyone know's anything.
Speaking of Nester's. I didn't know about them until the Woodward's thing, then the other day my daughter mentions a place opening up in Univercity up by SFU Mountain. It's also a Nester's.

BTW, what ever happened to Thumper? Looks like he disappeared off the face of this cyberplanet.

Dirty look from MG1 can melt steel beams.
