I don't frequent Main St. E. so I'll see if social media has the answer.
Regarding Fitness clubs-the catch is usually having to pay by credit card (i.e. Extreme Fitness in Toronto in 2007 had the same promotion and I wanted to pay for two "months" in that my last two weeks were the last week of Oct and first week of Nov and nope, no cash accepted)and committing to a term of membership. I'll be stunned if they'd allow cash payment. There have been stories in the past about different fitness firms using clients' credit cards to charge various amounts on them and the hassle clients get in trying to get fees returned or reversed when the relationship gets sour.

@Linda Evans - when I was on the 10-Beeline bus Thursday night, I noticed that the store had a Now Open sign taped to the window. So it opened up in the former No Frills store!

I also saw that the 7-11 convenience store at Main St. E. and Ottawa St. S. is boarded up. Do you know the reason why the store is gone?

Closing Oct.31-Players Paradise (Stoney Creek, north of the QEW) complex building has been sold to a company. https://www.hamiltonnews.com/news-st...row-operation/
Guess the local Home Shows will have to find a new venue.

thanks ciel... i think the store has been sectioned off, not as big as it looks. i think the 7-11 was bought by the city for the future LRT, but i could be wrong.
