Sunnybrook the plaza of empty stores and not much parking

Sunnybrook Plaza was experiencing a curious traffic jam this week as motorists sat in their cars waiting for a spot or at least a little movement to leave. Some of the parked vehicles jamming the lot may be owned by construction workers. There are a few service stores remaining at the 1952 strip mall. Mamma’s Pizza and Subway are still able to feed Leaside High School kids at lunch. But only one anchor store remains. Operators of the Rexall Drugstore are quietly carrying on despite the departure this month of next-door Home Hardware. CIBC, Source and Mac’s have long since left. Sad.
