East York-Old East York

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?

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