Today, we delivered the Boyle McCauley News along 101st Street. We have been doing this route since 2022. We always enjoyed popping into the shops and restaurants along the way. Some businesses were leery of us at first, but as time passed, we developed a rapport with them, and shared greetings and stories. We each had our favourite people to chat with, and we also witnessed a lot of sadness and neglect along the way.

This time we discovered more closed and boarded up businesses than ever before.

In addition to the bundle we took to the King Thunderbird Centre, we delivered only 15 copies of the paper (including three copies at Omonia Foods Import). We are genuinely greeted at Ital Motors and Ericksen Nissan.

We have supported Omonia Foods, the Greek grocery, for many years and Macarons & Goodies since we started this route.

We used to leave extra copies at Mamenche’s Restaurant. It has been closed for well over a year.

We love delivering the news and will continue to do so! Next time, we will take a tour of King Thunderbird (graciously offered).

We just wanted to share about our little strip of the neighbourhood.
