NOTE: I did not take this picture. I saw it while traveling on I90 in South Dakota. I tried to take a picture on the return trip but A) snow, wind, 13 degrees, and more importantly B) very prominently posted as Private Property. The camera I had did not have a decent long lens. This is a screen capture from Google maps street view.

A memory from my teens. Eddie's store in Innisville, Ontario. We went to Innisville several times a year to fish for small mouth bass. We made friends with Eddie and his family and I still try to talk via phone with his daughter Lisa once a month or so. We are all in our 80's and there are not many of the fishing gang left.
The store was on old RTE 7 about 12 miles north of Perth.

Charlie: are you going to (or have you) model the bridge over the Mississippi River?
As an old Perth boy, I'll note that it probably wasn't Hwy 7 then. it was Hwy 15. 7 ended at Perth and Hwy 15 came up from Smiths Falls through the middle of town and then out the route to Ottawa. At some point they sent 15 straight from the Falls to Carlton Place and renumbered the other bit.
Not RTE in Ontario but the Queen's Highway. It would be the King's Highway now but some cheapskate government donated most of them to the municipalities.

David, my first trip was in 1959 and I remember it as Hgw 7. The old bridge was the only bridge at that time if I remember correctly. I think the new bridge and road led to the store closing. The family I went with had been going since the 40's. Giraldo's were the store owner family Most of the folks we met were vacationers from Ottawa. I love the area and my brother still goes several times a year. My last fishing trip there was 1981. I do hope to get back one more time to fish but I am afraid by that time our last friend will be gone. I have no plans to model any more but I just liked the little building so I thought I could have a reminder.
