Remember when Greenberg's moved locations?

I lived on this block,and could look over and see Greenberg's on the corner of Galt & Wellington, later on they had to move to make room for the Metro Station. So they moved diagonally across Wellington and resided on the corner of Gordon & Wellington. I've also added just a few random Verdun photos to amuse our memory banks. Cheers and thanks for surfing by.
Now here are a few from a big sinkhole outside Gagnon's ,and then some old Savoy photos.
