Back to the Plot

January, 23rd, 1988

It was a cold day, but the Eaton Centre was an indoor, warm, vast mega mall, on Yonge Street, downtown Toronto.

We walked in the mall and up Yonge Street, which apparently is the longest street in Canada, regardless, within three blocks I swear if I had grabbed my earlobe I could have broken it off. The temperature was ridiculous, we had been in Canada less than three weeks and the cold was still amazing the pair of us.

It was time to buy some real gear, and in the following weeks we both had suitable coats, the thin British winter coats relegated to the closet for summer perhaps.
