555 Somerset Street is no longer in business
click image to enlarge
There have not been any pizzas made here for awhile. The inactivity in this location is a little surprising because it seems to be a waste of a valuable commercially zoned site that is located near the Beer store and Dundonald Park.

Carribean Flavours at 881

Some of these pictures are old. The right image was shot several years ago with a pretty primitive (but expensive!) canon s20 digital camera. I am reshooting most of this stuff. The image on the right took a lot of work in photoshop to make it even remotely acceptable compared to what I can do with my current tool. Time marches on . . .

806 Somerset Street is a retail outlet for a local clothing manufacturer

This is an unusual display for this business - there are usually more racks out than this. The clothes are very inexpensive and made with quite fancy materials.
The Nasa Food Centre at 802 Somerset

The Nasa food centre is new. There was another Indian grocery store here which was burned out in a bad fire (no-one injured luckily.) This store is at the south east corner of Booth street which is one of the busiest intersections on the street. See another view showing the intersection on a nice hot summer night here.
This location is where the number 2 bus going downtown stops.
A newer building at 841 -839

841 is the Pho Bo Ga 3 Vietnamese restaurant which stays open quite late. The vacant store was the Phu Hai Supermarket which closed after a very brief period in business. This street sees a lot of businesses that are short lived. The for rent signs say "call Angelo" which is also the name listed in many other shop windows on Somerset and Wellington street. Angelo is an important landlord in this part of the city.
Wah Shing at 835 has been repainted
