A Toronto post office that's been a cornerstone of a neighbourhood as well as an essential resource has just permanently closed.in Roncesvalles Village was also more than a post office with all kinds of business services like printing available. But the story behind it is about much more than just shipping and handling.
"We used to be located at 365 Roncesvalles until the rent got hiked up there in 2011 at which time we moved up the road to 412 Roncy. I sure have some great memories of running that store," Barrette tells blogTO. Tuyp actually met Barrette through the Toronto music scene, originally helping out on a part time basis, later moving to full time, and then taking over the business, working with the music community as well as BIAs, political parties and candidates, and local businesses.
