That's really too bad. I left in 96. Glad I had the op to experience the place. I heard some of the used book stores on Princess Street had closed up too...
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Yep, most of them are gone. Still a few left, but only one independent new bookseller, A Novel Idea. The only other places to get new books are Chapters and Indigo. Not that I mind them terribly, but it is a real change for Kingston (and I do prefer the independents when I can get them).

That was my favourite place to hang out while waiting for Rafmun to finish with his classes. I'd find a new book and then have a coffee or 4 at the Smiling Goat.
Edit: I mean Sleepless Goat. Smiling Goat was on Ed.

I did that very thing this past October when I was in town for a conference and waiting for one of my pals who works at the university.
ETA: There's a Grey Goat pub in Newmarket where I used to live (that Glass Tiger hung out in). All the Goat talk has me thirsty, and by that I mean beer.
