At the beginning of April, I went to the
Target location in the
Stockyards shopping complex on St. Clair West to bear witness to the last days of the chain. I had heard of Target's arrival in Canada back in 2013, and I'd of course been following the news of the chain's collapse, but I had never actually managed to get there. I wanted to see once for myself, and what better location to go than the one not only closest to me but the one that was
custom-built for its location? (The other stores, as it happens, were converted Zellers.)
