I came all the way from St. Catharines to the last day Kresge's was open. Place was almost empty of anything for sale. But by then King Street E. was starting to shut down stores as well. A big shock when just 5 years before, the street, the stores were constantly busy of customers.....it was a sign of things to come across Ontario.
Its crazy to see my city be such a vibrant beautiful city with loads of stores and shops and now its become a joke and everything is just dead. No life to it just boring life
