A melancholic philosophical interlude: in which the chronicler discovers that you can't go home again

We are in the Southgate Mall.

Where is the Bay's malt shop, which was right here, for so long the home and source of the world's most exquisite cold concoction?
















Where is Kelly's Record Shop, the site of so many exciting and usually ill-advised album purchases? (Not during math or chemistry or biology class, though...)
















Where is the Southgate branch of the Edmonton Public Library?! Oh, Saturday afternoons, hopping on the bus to come over and go down and stay and stay here. Oh, Mammon!
