Goodbye, Pages
July 9th, 2009
Pages books on Queen Street West has announced it will close on its 30th anniversary due to the hike in rents at the city-owned property. It was a much-needed haven for me in some difficult years—no matter how bad other things got, there was always something on their shelves to distract me.
Gosh! THAT a bad news.
I have always been wondering how they survived, though.
Hopefully, they relocate Queen West West West, do not they?
BTW, I found on this weekend that “This ain’t the Rosedale library” store moved to the Kensington Market. It seems much improved, and in the right place. Not a complete replacement for Pages, but still something…
