Cabbagetown at the Olympics
Congratulations to Shelley Anne Brown
We’ve just heard from the Yonge Street Mission (280 Gerrard) that Shelley Anne Brown is one of their staff members. She, of course, is the brakeman in the women’s bobsleigh and she won a silver medal on Wednesday night. She must have nerves of steel to do her job in the sleigh. Great job, Shelley Anne – that was a thrilling event and you deserve every bit of praise for your efforts.
Saturday in snowboarding
Justin Skinner from insidetoronto.com has reported that Michael Lambert, one of our Olympic snowboard team members, is a Cabbagetowner. He’ll be competing in the Parallel Giant Slalom tomorrow, Saturday Feb 27 with the qualifying runs happening in the early afternoon and the various finals continuing immediately afterward. We can see it on Rogers Sportsnet. Go Michael – take lots of inspiration from Shelley Anne Brown.

If we had known more about this ahead of time, we could have given him a Tee shirt for good luck.

Celebrate the Chinese New Year
Steve and Phyllis at Del Ray Cleaners (586-588 Parliament) are holding a special sale to celebrate the Chinese New Year and it ends this weekend. Bring in your suits and dresses before Saturday night and get a nice 25% discount. Del Ray’s prices are already super-competitive, so who can resist a sale like this one.
Free coffee at Epicure
Come to The Epicure Shop (473 Parliament) from 8 to 11 am on Saturday morning and enjoy a free cup of Patty’s House Blend coffee. Watch in your mailbox for your Reunion Island coffee coupons which you can redeem at Epicure for a $2 discount on a bag of coffee or you can buy two bags and get one free. While you’re sipping that free cuppa, enjoy one of her homemade gingerbread cookies – they are really good.
Think Spring and think about your bike
Kale at Cabbagetown Cycle (444 Parliament) reports that he’s seen early sighs of the Spring bike tuneup rush. In a few weeks, they’ll be very busy. He recommends that people who want a tuneup right away should bring in their bikes early.
The Deal Zone
There’s a new face in The Deal Zone (480 Parliament) these days. Alex purchased the business late last year and he’s been busy learning his customers and routines ever since. He’s kept the store’s same bright, attractive format and filled it with excellent bargains. This week, of course, his winter supplies are in demand, especially mitts and gloves. Spring is just around the corner, however, and he’s selling Outer Banks Tee shirts for $4.99. Among his specials are the energy saving light bulbs that have long been featured in The Deal Zone. A single 60 w equivalent bulb is $1.59 and a six-pack of 40w equivalent bulbs is $9.99. For a limited time, he’s offering a free gift offer – on any purchase of $10 or more, you’re invited to add any $1 item from the shelves free.
Cabbagetown in the media
It’s been a busy week for commentators and reporters who’re singing our praises to the greater world beyond Cabbagetown.
