Spooky quicksand tale, buried steam engine at Sunnybrook

A FB post which notes the closure of Rollian Sushi in the Sunnybrook Plaza has inspired a thread of comment that includes a spooky tale of quicksand under the old commercial site. History records that Walmsley Brook did indeed flow through the intersection and it’s believed the foundation of the re-developed Sunnybrook will require reinforcement. One post has a sinister suggestion that the redeveloped plaza will ultimately sink into the muck. Hmm. It also asserts there is a steam engine buried somewhere there.

UPS store now relocated at 82 Laird Drive

Among the last businesses to depart Sunnybrook was the UPS store. It’s now open at its new location at 82 Laird Drive opposite Leaside Village. They say they’re up and running, printer and all.
