One of the (many, many) nice things about our neighborhood is that we’re walking distance from a couple of supermercados.

My t-shirt is also from that era — I bought it in 1998 at the HMV on Yonge Street in downtown Toronto. The design is by Frank Kozik, who did a lot of concert posters back then:
