Elora ‘challenge’

Dear Editor:

An open letter to the merchants of Elora.

Sorry that I didn’t get to do my annual Christmas shopping at your location this year, but the challenge to get into town some days was just too much to attempt.

Just getting off the street was difficult when the traffic was lined up beyond the roundabout and everyone was scrambling to find a bare spot to park in.

But I found that if I left early enough I was able to accomplish errands to the E and G Bakery, Shoppers Drug Mart, The Apothecary, Magic Pebble Books and the Geddes Street Market.

When your business doesn’t open until 10am I couldn’t fit in with the incoming crowds. Looking forward to when the lights go out and we can again see the stars in the dark sky.

I’m just glad that there were no emergencies downtown as there would be no way for the emergency vehicles to get to the scene in good time. See you in the spring.

Susan Edwards,
Elora
