Imagine a hot breakfast for under 2 bucks?
I always loved these Mom & Pop “greasy spoon” restaurants.
The northeast corner of Hambly Avenue and Queen Street East has had many facelifts since the early 1980s. I believe (and please correct me if I’m wrong) that after Q.B. Soda Grill flipped its last over easy egg, Cultures restaurant took up this space.

Years later a photo print store moved in, and finally, today, it’s home to a bank.
I have Chris Nicholls to thank for the above photo. Please check out his website: chrisnicholls.live
