They've got a good selection of newspapers from all over Canada and some hot spots in the US. Mainly New York. You can spend some decent time here browsing and perusing the magazine selection and I've never been booted out once. Ah, those Canadians are so nice! Decent candy selection but I'm still upset they got rid of Mack's Toffee from their lineup. So I end up getting some variety of Nestle bars instead. Great place, great location and you can't miss it.

Not only that, but they became rude with me and one of them said to me with attitude "I'm not sure what your asking mamm." I rephrased my question three different ways before they directed me to one of the "larger stores" aka chapters indigo, when they could have called themselves if they were even the least bit helpful. I ended up calling Chapters at John and Richmond myself after leaving the store flustered and irritated, asking the EXACT same questions and had an answer in less than a minute. In conclusion the staff at this location (not all, but 2 out of ? ) are incompetent. I will never go back into this store again.

Tip: This paper gets delivered to you for free if you live in the Beaches…read more I grew up in the Beaches, in the east end of Toronto. It has its own newspaper. In the past, it used to be called Ward 9 News. The Beaches was known as Ward 9, a riding in the city. The name change happened while I was in high school from Ward 9 News to Beach Metro Community News. The riding boundaries had changed, so the name change made sense. These days, it has been shortened to Beach Metro. It's a free newspaper. It gets delivered by volunteers. I lived in an apartment, so there would be a stack of them sitting on the ledge in front of the mailboxes. You can get copies of the paper at the library and local businesses. I liked reading it growing up in the area. The newspaper is published every two weeks. In the summertime, it's scaled back to a publication each in July and August. It was cool reading stories about folks in the paper whom I knew in the area. It was cool thinking that they were famous... haha! Beach Metro Community News was a fixture on Kingston Road for decades. It was near my high school. These days, it is located on Gerrard Street East, just west of Main Street. Although I don't live in the area anymore, I go online to the Beach Metro site to read articles. It's nice to read what's going on in my old neighbourhood online. You can also subscribe to its newsletter, and have news and stories come to your inbox. The newspaper does accept donations. You won't get a tax receipt because it's not a charity. However, this newspaper has been alive and kicking since 1972. I certainly want it to thrive for many years to come. (84)

I have been living out of the area and in a few short weeks will be by the lake. Can't wait!! I plan on getting a paper newspaper again as well. I am praying that mail delivery does not get cancelled, though it seems likely. It is not that I don't use technology, but that the homey things are delightful for me, a senior.
