| - How can Yelp be in Canada now and not have a review for the Bay (Hudson's Bay Co.), one of the oldest department stores in the country! It would be like London w/out Harrod's or Berlin w/out KaDeWe (Kaufhaus des Westens). So, I went to the Bay as a child but did not know it, when my parents were visiting family friends. Then, on a recent and still-traumatic job interview in snowy, December-y Montreal, my bags w/ the interview shirt and tie were lost in JFK airport. I had the foresight to travel with my suit in the check-in, but I failed to include an extra shirt (or change of socks and underwear), and all my toiletries were also back in NYC. So, I headed to the Bay to pick up a shirt, a new tie, and other assorted items. It was quite the experience. The store is enormous, of course, and it gleams in commercial and historic splendor. I didn't get the job, but I still have the shirt, tie, socks and undies. So thanks, Bay, for some good souvenirs of my time there.
