That's really too bad. I left in 96. Glad I had the op to experience the place. I heard some of the used book stores on Princess Street had closed up too...
Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

Yep, most of them are gone. Still a few left, but only one independent new bookseller, A Novel Idea. The only other places to get new books are Chapters and Indigo. Not that I mind them terribly, but it is a real change for Kingston (and I do prefer the independents when I can get them).

That was my favourite place to hang out while waiting for Rafmun to finish with his classes. I'd find a new book and then have a coffee or 4 at the Smiling Goat.
Edit: I mean Sleepless Goat. Smiling Goat was on Ed.

I did that very thing this past October when I was in town for a conference and waiting for one of my pals who works at the university.
ETA: There's a Grey Goat pub in Newmarket where I used to live (that Glass Tiger hung out in). All the Goat talk has me thirsty, and by that I mean beer.
