I sent an e-mail to Book City HQ along with links to the Cabbagetown BIA, suggesting that they strongly consider CT for their next location.Love the bookstore idea. Too bad we don't own that building, eh?.

Shall I do a photo shoot next week for the board?
Just now returned from an evening stroll down Parliament St., having discovered that Posterity Graphics is having a closing sale! What a drag to think this place will not be around any more.
The owner is a lovely person if there ever was one. He's retiring. (His display says "retiring but not shy").
Darned, I wish someone would buy the business and keep it going. There's a poster in the window I must have, won't tell you which one it is.

Hi Doug,
I see that Posterity Graphics is having a closing
sale. I think this location has great potential for a
brand-name book store. Parliament St. has lots of
restaurants and coffee shops, but little else to draw
pedestrian traffic from Cabbagetown after 7pm. A
Book City would be perfect, as they're a recognisable
brand, sell new books (as opposed to small/hobbyist
used book shops) and are open late. Last week, to
that end, I sent an e-mail to Book City asking them to
consider CT, along with the contact details for the
CT-BIA.
I suggest the BIA contact Book City to advise them of
the economic and demographic benefits of the area in
general, and the Prosperity location if it's
available.
Now if we can only have something done about the
derelict ex-Javaville building and the vacant
ex-Petvalu on Winchester with its crowds of Coffee
Time loiterers out front at all hours, but a book
store on Parliament would be a great start.
Best Regards,
I just now sent the below e-mail to the Cabbagetown BIA...
Bad news. Book City replied to my e-mail advising that they have no plans for further expansion anywhere, and are concentrating on getting their current stores up to speed.
