Answer: a convenience store that is in fact a convenience store, post office and dry cleaners all in one!
"Where is this amazing store you speak of, good sir?" you might ask me.
And I would answer "Why at the end of my street my good man (or woman)!"

It's actually quite useful. If ever I need to mail a birthday parcel, I can just walk over and, whoosh, off it goes. And if I happened to fall into a mud puddle on my way over? No problem! I'll just add my dirty clothes as part of the bargain.
I should be honest and admit that the "convenience" store aspect of the store takes a distant third place to the other business they do. It seems mostly knick knacks and birthday cards from the 1990s. But they add to the charm of the place. One day I'll buy one just to add a bit of spice to the store owner's day.
If you strip off you muddy clothes in his shop and stroll home half-naked that might also add a bit of spice to the store owner's day! Bx
ReplyDeletePostal outlets make their way into a lot of Toronto convenience stores too. Though a dry-cleaning business is a new one for me...
