Sarah’s Adventures In Re-Routing Her Commute This morning Due to the Subway Being Shut Down

Apparently there are Dollar Trees in Canada? I saw two, both on Eglinton W.

I also saw a menswear shop that looked as though it had been there many decades, called HOUSE OF MOSS: FASHION’S LIMITED. Yes. Yes it is.

(It actually looked like a pretty good old-fashioned menswear store.)

There's a Dollar Tree about 15 minutes' walk from where I live. Others scattered across Ottawa, too.

Interesting, the Dollar Tree website only lists 3 in Toronto with but one of these on Eglinton West. I wonder if one of the ones you saw was a fake one like the "GoodWell" second hand store that used to be on Dundas West. Toronto is well stocked with C-list chain stores: Giant Tiger, B-Tree, Lady York, Jollibee and so on.

The venerable "House of Moss" has been there for at least two decades that I know of . Not even counting the places that cater to the Orthodox Jewish guys there are a lot of old school tailor shops in this 'hood. The sort of place where a little old man with a Yonkers accent and a tape measure around his neck comes out from the back and says "How about a nice tweed? You'd look good in Tweed and I just got some in yesterday!"

Googling Dollar Tree Toronto shows three, including the two on Eglinton W. Perhaps one’s new, or about to close, and the web just hasn’t caught up to reality?
