There was much to see and do this Saturday, May 23, 2015 and a lot of it was nearby. Bessborough Public School held its Mayfair today with a large turnout. Councilor Jon Burnside was present with his handy cotton candy making machinery. The lady inset top at right was on the lawn and yard sale tour. This was a busy event on Soudan Ave. where she spied this child’s shirt. The Northlea United Church “Items of Interest” Yard Sale was crowded at 125 Brentcliffe.Rd. The lovely treed lawn of the church was full of people shortly after 9 a.m. The lady inset second has bagged up some lemon-lime sugar cookies that were edible items of interest to The Bulldog. Thank you very much. The bake table at all such fairs is a first stop but the Northlea ladies (and possibly men) certainly produced a nice offering. The greatly anticipated first day of Ron White Shoes at 1553 Bayview drew many shoppers. That’s a promotional picture in the store of Ron with Dennis Quaid. Another business up the street and yet to open is the children’s store Never Grow Up. But the sign went up in recent hours so it won’t be long. That’s at 1725 Bayview. Up at the Metro grocery complex the new Beer Store is nearing completion. There’s abundant caution built in with those fearsome yellow metal and iron posts out front (inset bottom). Presumably beer drinkers sober and otherwise will be required to walk into the store, not drive. No no. The next-door store that was built for Tim Horton’s remains for lease. As reported in the South Bayview Bulldog, Timmy’s has decided to open a shop on the south-west corner of Bayview and Eglinton Ave. East where work is now underway to accommodate the Canadian coffee phenomenon. One last note, Paws and Claws at 1721 Bayview was doing an outside promotion for My Healthy Pet treats which are said to be suitable for humans as well. Lot’s of fun.
