If you have memories of Burlington you would like to share with the public through this column, please contact Don by email: [email protected] Or this one really caught my eye: A full, double-page ad for VILLAGE SQUARE mall, located north of Lakeshore between Elizabeth and Pearl streets, offering a variety of shops. Our family visited it many times and our daughter Laurel purchased her wedding dress from one of their establishments. This mall included such stores as Smart Fashions, Village Butcher Shop, Deb’n Heir Fashions For Children, Georgie Girl Lingerie and Loungewear, The Duke of Buckingham Restaurant, Kay Jewellers, The Village General Store, Hendry’s/Sabrina and Village Sportique, to name a few. Also being promoted at that time on behalf of this mall, was a fashion show to be held at the Reimer Building on South Service Road. Admission was $6 with all proceeds going to the March of Dimes. On the Editorial page was an article titled “City Boaters Deserve Better Facilities”. The article states that a recent survey of members of the Burlington Sailing and Boating Club clearly indicated this need. The article reads that club members had proposed building docks to provide slips for more than 500 boats in a protected basin next to LaSalle Park pier. It certainly would appear today that their wish came true. Celebrating Our Second Anniversary!
