When I was young, a
store called
The World of Cheese was run where the
Tim Hortons now is in
Toronto's Pape Station, with windows
plastered with posters offering
exotic cheeses at special prices. I had never gone into the store because
it had always made me hold my breath, yet I was always
fascinated by the variety of
everything inside.
As I got older, I became more
brave and followed my
mother inside where she ordered
Havarti and
Brie. I was
enthralled by the
variety and
quantity of
cheese in such a tiny store as well as by the
employees efficiency and warmth. The ladies behind the counter gave me a slice of
cheddar before my mom paid for her purchase. We left too soon from what
I remember.
The station now is fed by three
bus routes (See below) with combined service
north to
Steeles Ave. and south to the
Lakeshore as well as the
Bloor-Danforth Subway.
Transportation is provided to
residents of the surrounding area and those who visit
The Danforth during patio season and know better than to try and find
parking.
