about

10 or so years ago, in my neighbourhood in East Toronto, a 1930s movie theatre was converted into a combined Tim Horton's coffee shop, Circle K variety store and Esso gas station. Although it may be overlooked as an important part of the community, on any given day, hundreds of people of all ages and demographics go in and out for a coffee, snack, to socialize, or fill up on gas, so in a way, it is a "neighbourhood hub".

lyrics

NEIGHBOURHOOD HUB

Not too far from where I live / is a former movie theatre
That is now a coffee shop / gas station and convenience store

Facing the main street, a grand marquee / a 100 bright lights / a sign that says
"Tonight: Tim Hortons and Circle K" / though the interior is fluorescent & plain
And not always well maintained.

Cars constantly coming and going to fill up-on-cheap gas
People walking in and out / all times of day
Purchasing cigarettes, lottery tickets, coffee, donuts and sandwiches
Seniors & people on-a-budget would hang-out-there / before the pan-
demic….

If you were to ask me “What / places are important in your
Neighbourhood/community?”
I might overlook this place / a vital hub in its own way…..

I hope you forgive me
For my addiction
To junk food and convenience / at the neighbourhood hub….
