Vittorio’s barber shop is moving from Queen, across from the Port of Wines, over to the old bus terminal at Almon and Robie.

“I’ve been in the business since 1965,” he tells me hurridely on the phone, as he’s clipping away. Vic at one point owned a chain of beauty salons, with over 80 employees by the late ’70s. “Everyone had long hair back then,” he says, explaining the success of that businesss. “But then they started cutting their hair again, so I sold that and opened a barber shop.” That was in 1993. We expect he’ll be at Almon for another 15 years, at least.

Thanks for that, voice of reason. I thought that was the case, but it got changed in the copy editing process.

The old bus station was never operated under the Acadien name, it was Acadian Lines Limited. Apparently a Quebec firm thinks an upside down lowercase "a" on their buses makes it a billingual name. Go figure.
