Editor asks about Bulldog story on Oink Oink

The estimable Bree Rody-Mantha, News Editor at the Post City Magazines, writes to ask about sourcing on a story that said the toy store Oink Oink on Eglinton Ave. West would close for reasons related to the construction of the Eglinton LRT. There will be a station built at Avenue Road which will dislocate a lot of business at or near this intersection it would seem certain. When the South Bayview Bulldog broke the story of Oink Oink’s closing, staff uniformly said they thought the LRT was the reason. As noted then, Montreal-based Oink Oink intends to open elsewhere in Toronto. It would seem that only time will tell if the building which now accommodates Oink Oink is not impacted in any way by this construction.
