I'll be honest, Frank: even though I've lived in Etobicoke on and off for 35 years, I *still* don't know where New Toronto ends and Long Branch begins. Sorry. :-)
The store in question is just one building east from the corner of Lakeshore and Twenty Fifth Street. CanClone Services <http://canclone.com> does CD/DVD duplication (thus the name), and all manner of printing, including wide format fine art aka giclee. Looks like, from Wikipedia, that Long Branch runs west from Twenty Third Street, so they just squeak into Long Branch by a hair. Yes, my stuff is getting noticed. Candi says they wouldn't dream of taking it out of the window 'cause they haven't had so much interest in their windows in years. And I sold one canvas (Tulip Study #2) to a fellow who lives in the adjacent apartment building. So I'm happy too! :-) On Wed, Jun 20, 2012 at 6:19 PM, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: > What store? Haven't noticed this in New Toronto.
