Community Corner: Yonge & Wellington Price Chopper

I am concerned that the former Price Chopper location at Yonge and Wellington has been sitting derelict for many months. This does not make a good impression for the centre of our town. As long as I have lived in Aurora (for twenty years) this location has been a grocery store. What is going to happen to this building and location?

Rogers versus ACI

Since Rogers took over ACI, there have been a few changes -- probably most noticeable were the cancellations of 3 local shows; sports, Council in Action with Betty Pederson and an interview show with Dick Illingworth.

What other changes have you see? What others do you expect?

Let us know how you feel about one of the last hold-outs as a privately held cable company being purchased by Rogers.

Community Corner: Support Local Business

Buy gas in Aurora
A reader writes, since gas stations do not compete on gas prices, most drivers buy gas either by the brand of their choice or by convenience of locations. I think all Aurora residents should make the extra efforts to purchase gas from stations located within Aurora. This will help keep local business strong and generate tax revenues towards our community.

Community Corner: New Second Cup Opens

A reader sent along the following comment about the new Second Cup. Share your thoughts.

We have lived in Aurora for almost 2 years and love it here. My husband and I just visited the new 'Second Cup' coffee shop at the Aurora Centre. The coffee, dessert, and staff were great. Although, the music was too loud for us.

Community Corner: Will anyone bag your groceries?

A reader asked the following question. Does anyone have an answer?

Can someone tell me why the Superstore in Aurora has changed?? We have been shopping there (and Loblaws before that) for a long time now, but in the past couple of months? whenever we have gone shopping we have to 'bag our own' groceries.

We might as well go to Price Chopper or No Frills if this the case, and the prices are cheaper. My husband did write to the head office, but got no response. I asked the cashier and she said that soon every store will be getting rid of plastic bags (good for the environment), which didn't answer my question - because I already use my reusuable shopping bags. I just want someone to bag them for me.

Who knows??
