I remember 'The Poppe Shop' just off Quinpool and good old Sister Sarah's on Quinpool being a big deal.

I also remember back before the Superstore was on Barrington Street that there was a container transfer terminal there (Clarke Transport). I know that because my mom was one the accounting supervisor for Clarke up until sometime in the 90's when her MS took a turn for the worse and she went on LTD. I loved going in with her on weekends when I was a kid, I'd colour and play with the typewritters and we'd get a clubhouse sandwhich from the little dinner on Barrington that closed a couple years ago.

Just before mom went on LTD, Clarke moved into a new facility out in Bayers Lake. I remember touring the building when it opened, since they were part of the reason for the railway spur out to Bayer's Lake not being shutdown when Volvo left. But eventually they moved away from railcars and bye bye rail line!
