EMG that corner store brings back many many memories...all my comic books were purchased there...I alwyas thought the apartment/home behind woudl have been cool to love in..but then again as I walked home from many a baseball game at Carlton or Mass at ST Brendan, I would think the apartments on Morang were interesting too...specially the modern looking one...I also remember the old farmhouse on Rossiter...funny what you think of thanks to the kind folks on here.

I know EXACTLY what old farmhouse you're thinking of - approximately 5th or so house south of Morang on the west side of Rossiter, big white house. I'm not at my home computer now but I'm almost certain I have a picture of that house, and when I get a chance I'll post it here if I haven't used up my space limit yet. [[If I have I'll delete one of my other pictures).

By apartments I assume you're talking about those ones with the aqua painted stripes, between Lakepoint and Rossiter. And I guess the "modern" ones would be the ones with the glass-enclosed four level staircases on Morang near Lansdowne. I have pictures of both of those too.

As for the corner store, I passed by that every day walking home from Carleton - but once across at the light, my path went in the opposite direction - as I lived on Nottingham. So as posted earlier, I went past Maranatha which in the winter was fun as there were those huge snow mounds to climb on.

Now I just had a flashback. Remember the old "Maraldo's" party store which was on the south side of Morang, between Somerset and Balfour, just west of dentist Dr. Aptekar's office? And there was [[still is, for all I know) a big house just west of that store. Of course, it's been a long time since it was "Maraldo's" - have no idea what it is today.

Then on the next block east, on the southeast corner of Morang and McKinney, was Baskin-Robbins ice cream, which later was replaced by I think a hot dog place called "American." I never went there for hot dogs but I sure have fond memories of the Baskin-Robbin days in my earlier childhood.
