Quote From "Have Not Been The Same"

There's a whole generation of Canadians weaned on Carole Pope songs and David Cronenberg movies - what does that say about our sexuality.
- Have Not Been The Same: The CanRock Renaissance 1985-1995; Michael Barclay, Ian Jack, Jason Scheider (2011)

Type Books Comes Alive

second post of the day on a bookstore.

I've walked by Type Books a few times at night but haven't seen this.

Pages Becomes Condo Showroom

In space which Pages Bookstore used to inhabit (closed at end of August 2009) is now a showroom/sales office for a condominium. Pages was the key to Queen W. I spent many an hour there (often hanging out with the proprietor, Marc Glassman) when I lived on Queen W and after I moved out of the country, a convenient place to meet folks. On several occasions I'd be in the store, browsing or waiting, and run into someone I hadn't seen in awhile (who often was someone I knew from outside of TO).
