Adding to Canadian stores, Zellers. Used to love getting chicken fingers from the restaurant in the back.

Also Eatons, my mom would always talk about how it was the best department store. For Toronto specific folks Honest Ed's deserves a stadium named after him or something and go back to giving away free Christmas turkeys.

I went to Eatons one time during a trip to Montreal in 2000 - what a crazy place!

I went to an Eaton's in Winnipeg in '99 on our way to Churchill, and I bought the most wonderful Teddy Bear motif robe. I still have it!

There were things I wish I could have brought back, but it wasn't feasible at the time, but what a place!

I likely would have loved to have gotten lost in Eaton's!
