East York-Old East York

Any idea what's going in its place?

 

[Hopedale]

When I lived in East York until 1971 my family used to shop at the IGA. We did not have a car, so walked to the grocery store from our home on the corner of Hopedale and Pape. Last weekend I was just in the area for the first time in fifty years. Does anyone recall where this IGA was? My mother would have had to walk there with two children under four. What is in the store's place now?

I heard that Hansen's Danish Pastry Shop on Pape is closing after 60 (!) years of business.

Never had it but that sucks. Wanted to try it someday. Is this due to the Ontario Line? Or did they specify why they’re closing?

Wasn't it TWO different grocery stores next to each other and then IGA bought out the other one and combined them?
