Helicopter flight path or not, pray they don't plan some gaudy monstrosity. I suppose a tall tower is inevitable, the land is simply too valuable, just have this bad feeling of seeing a 50 storey cheap looking glass box, then again, the new owners other sites aren't too bad, who knows. As for when it was a bowling alley, we use to bowl there when I was a kid, yeah, I'm just that old, and damn was it ugly as a bowling alley, and as a book store, but many of you are right, many good memories. Quick personal story. Being a gay kid in Scarborough back in the 70's/80's, I had no resources on the topic, and was terrified to even ask about it. Pre-web, our only outlet was the local variety store porno mags, that I would nervously pay for while telling the store clerk they were for my "girlfriend". Then, when WBB opened in the early 80's, I saw a newspaper add for books on "human sexuality". Desperate for answers, I skipped school, and took the bus, another bus, and the subway to get there. I walked in, terrified someone might see me (back then, the word "fag" was indeed something you could see printed in the newspaper), and was greeted by an employee who could see right through me (must have noticed I was sweating like a pig, and really nervous). He asked me if I was interested in the books advertised in the paper (subtle way of asking if I wanted the gay books). He directed me to the back of the store and left me to browse through the shelves. There, right I front of me, were dozens of books, all dedicated to self help for dealing with sexuality. I was in paradise. Finally, I had the info I needed to know, that told me what I really was. I'll never forget the feeling of excitement, and relief. someone (the store clerk) knew I was gay, and didn't care. I realize this may not seem like a big deal to most, but to me, it was a pivotal moment in coming to terms with who and what I was. I'll never forget it, and despite it's tacky facade, I'll miss that building, and the memories it holds for me. (Sorry for going so off topic, wanted to convey how a structure can mean so much to some).
