Ornaments from long ago. Price sticker says 57 cents
Posts at Leaside Community this Boxing Day carry a photo of an old box of Christmas ornaments purchased at the Jupiter variety store on Bayview Ave. in a long-distant past. One comment comes from a woman who recalls that she met her husband at the Jupiter when they both worked there. This store is said to have been located in the large space where Dollarama now lives. Many will recall that Shoppers Drug Mart lived there until it moved up to the former Bayview playhouse space in 2011. But the history gets murky when it comes to Jupiter, a 1960s era five-and-dime store which was associated with S.S. Kresge. Both are defunct now.
