I am going to a Canada Day party right now. Alexander Keiths, poutine and drunk texting Wasonff.

 

Hey, you know we don't have cel phones up here - all messages are sent either by smoke signal or peeing in the snow.

The bigger towns use dog sleds.

The Steinbergs I went to was at the corner of Cummer and Yonge St. in Willowdale (North York). I'd walk there as a young teen because my grandmother never learned to drive.

 

My grandmother called it 'Steinberger' in her broken English accent.

 

The Dominian grocery store was further down Yonge in a large plaza at Yonge just south of Finch on the East side. They've long since converted that Dominian plaza to condominiums.

 

But yeah, strong memories.

That photo is the College St location.

 

Here's a photo of the Queen St W store (from 1981):

I shopped at Dragon Lady for years as a teenager. Bought a lot of back issues there. Remember finding a Hulk #181 for $5 in the bins. But I paid a pretty penny for an X-Men #94. I paid $50 for it. And that was in the early 1980s so I definitely overpaid. But, man, did I want that book.

Just came back from Canada Day fireworks and it's cold, July first.

 

I worked at the Dragon Lady on Queen Street very briefly. Got canned for talking to the customers (about comics) and not bagging enough X-mens.

Loved The Beachcombers when I watched it in the 1970's. Just found out that it was broadcast until 1990 :o

Happy belated Canada Day to Roy, Greggy, & Jimmers.

 

I like all three of you collectively as much as I do individually.
