Daphne Bramham: The end of an era for a beloved small business
I cannot believe it. Dude is still there. I remember that family. I hung out there every day. I have to go say hi, before they close down.
I remember when the twins were born. So funny - he always looked like that. Hasn't changed a bit. The mom was a really nice lady and the dad was just as nice. I spent hours there reading the comics and buying freezies with the money I earned at the baseball park. Never got kicked out, since I made sure the pages stayed pristine. I know nothing is forever, but my memories of that place will always be 1080 sharp.
I'm teary eyed as I type this........... this story brings back all the good memories. The single older gents in the DTES who had a hand in raising me with their wisdom and kindness. Damn........... I was ever so lucky.
