No More Days For Mothers.

I really should have posted this yesterday when my clever title would have been more topical.  Oh well.



Several weeks ago I had heard talk that the Saskatoon outlet of Mother's Music had changed hands. 



My visit last Thursday proved this was true, and the new owners were kind of a surprise to me.  It's Long and McQuade, a music chain that's the closest Canadian equivalent to the US Guitar Center chain.  They bought out all the Mother's outlets, as well as the parent Gordon Price Music of Edmonton.



L&M already have a store in Saskatoon, this large "big box" style outlet on 43rd Street.  So it will be interesting to see what happens to the new location over the next few years.  Will it be run as an ongoing proposition?  Or is the current building leased, and the 8th Street location doomed to closure when it runs out?  I doubt they'll tell me.

Mother's Music has prevviously appeared on this blog.

Disobeying.

Various city run facilities are zoned as no smoking, including Saskatoon Transit bus shelters.



However it's probably not a surprise that such prohibitions are often ignored.

Small Guardian?

A small dog tied up in front of Always Towing on 43rd Street.  Although he barked at me I doubt he's supposed to be a guard dog.



This was the second time I've seen him tied up there and I'm by there regularly when I visit the Long and McQuade across the street., so I assume he's a pet of one of the tow truck drivers.
