Eaton's went bankrupt in 1999 after 130 years and a sad decline from Canada's premier department store.

A sign of a grand icon left behind has such a touch of sadness! Once valued now abandoned!

That's a blast from the past!

Never heard of Eaton's but I get the emotion conveyed here anyway.

Aw, sad! Thanks for the explanatory comment.

I, too, never heard of Eaton's. But you'd think after painting over everything else, might as well have painted over the name too!

How strange... I guess it's empty?

That's all that's left from Eaton's? You should have checked inside the trailer. Maybe Punkinhead was there.

Too much of that type of thing happening, sadly.

wow, 130 years and it went under? that is sad.

Sad to hear about the end of that era.

How odd - I am thinking someone must have liked the Eaton's bit too much to remove it.
