Giant Tiger is a Canadian firm sort of like a grocery store, that also sells clothes, and house wares, a bit of everything. We had a smaller one in town, but they moved to this new premises which is a lot, lot bigger. It was where the old Zellers used to be. Haven't been in it yet, as I couldn't be bothered to go in. I went to the store to the right of it Mark's Work Wearhouse to get dh a new dress shirt for the wedding. They sell the best shirts there.
Just a look at the town in which we live.

What a lovely wee town, it reminds me of the town I grew up in - (before we moved to the family farm) even the church looks quite similar to the Methodist church we lived behind!
I've heard of people having doppelgangers, but never towns.
I live in a town in England, on the edge, like me. You called call where i live Rurban. Unfortunately planning permission has been given for housing on our doorstep so I will be living in Urban. Sadly! I will be posting very urban pics tonight on my blog. London pics that I captured last week. I enjoyed seeing around your town. A fab idea doing those car pics.
I forgot to say, my mum used to do a rhyme with me, here is a church, here is the steeple, look inside and there's the people.
"Rurban", that's pretty clever. :) I love older towns like this, no McDonalds, no Walmart. They look like real towns, not the cartoon towns that such places turn them into.
amazing town Gill! we have a Giant tiger, it is a awesome store and great prices and the produce and veggies are super cheap
I was in Alliston a few weeks ago . I have a cousin that was born and raised there , The town has changed so much over the years and grown to . Alliston was once an old farming town .I haven't been in a giant Tiger either I always go to Wally's world lol I do miss our old Zellers though as I also worked there I wish they would bring that chain back . Lovely photos and post . Thanks for sharing , Have a good day !

Such nice pictures, especially the church. It is dismal this time of year here too, spring is right around the corner and things here are getting ready to bloom. I can't wait!
I guess your Giant Tiger is what Tesco has become in the UK ~ our Superstore sells everything now, no longer groceries, but the whole gamut from magazines and stationery to washing machines and cookers with everything in between.
I guess rurban is the new suburbs? I find it a tricksy word to try to pronounce, but I'm sure Shakespeare would have had great fun with it.
I wish we had Giant Tiger in in BC, I keep hearing about all their great bargains. Now that Target is shutting our small towns store there is less competition and likely less bargains.
I like the look of the town.
Giant Tiger started up here in Eastern Ontario originally. The first store is in the Byward Market. I go in for chocolate on a regular basis.
Thanks for the tour. I always enjoy getting a look into where fellow bloggers live.
In enjoyed my trip through your town. A second Giant Tiger opened recently in the town closest to us, haven't been to visit yet, but might if it is on our route one day.
Would like to revisit Canada some day!
My home computer seems to have difficulty getting on your blog so I could not leave a comment yesterday. Now I'm using a computer at work and it's fine!

I can't believe how little snow you have left! I buy my clothes at Mark's - such a fashionista I am :)
One good thing about snow is it covers the brown. ;)) Alliston will be much prettier in a few weeks, though.
I thnk I prefer dismal to all of our ice and snow!
