Thanks, Luciano
Luciano is moving from his Parliament Street No Frills to a new assignment. His neighbours along Spruce have found him a very helpful friend and they held a small party to wish him well. Eric tells us that Luciano “civilized the truck situation” to ensure both safe passage and orderly, quieter deliveries so the nearby residents wouldn’t be bothered. He also, as we know, continued to upgrade the store’s offerings and he supervised a fresh facade renovation. From everyone in Cabbagetown, thanks and best wishes, Luciano.
Travelling Tee’s
Joan and Lu, together with three grandchildren, traveled to the Dominican Republic over Christmas. Weather, food, hospitality, beaches – all of it made for a great holiday. The T-shirts didn’t hurt either. Many thanks, folks, for taking our souvenirs along with you.
