You should see it north of Newmarket where I live. It used to be all open fields and farm land until a coupla years ago. Now it's filled with huge grocery stores, a multiplex, Costco, a train station, Canadian Tire, Future Shop, Walmart... you name it. And they're clearing land for something else right now too.
The only old style thing we've still got around here is a drive-in theater a coupla blocks away.
Stupid thing is though, if you want to buy beer or alcohol, you've still gotta drive all the way down to Newmarket cause of the stupid Canadian laws that don't allow liquor in corner stores.
It majorly sucks to run outa beer at 2: a.m. and have to wait until 10 the next morning before you can buy more.
