I’m sure many Beacher’s remember the most appropriately named Variety store in the neighbourhood. Crosswalk Variety was on Queen Street East, just across from Kew Gardens.

This image was shot by photographer Chris Nicholls in 1985.

Before Timmy’s came to roost, it was a video gaming store.

Thank you Chris for your contribution!
