Look at that Ford truck! Did you ever dine at the Canton Restaurant? We’re not sure when it closed down.

Rob Adamson says
I think it was sometime in the early 2000’s.
Bill Spring says
That’s correct.
I ate lunch there at least once a week for years.
Key (wrong spelling) and his wife were great hosts.
Best sweet and sour chicken balls, around.

^ Rob – this picture would be early 90’s as the store to the right was only there briefly, I knew the owners “Great Things”. That said I never was brave enough to enter the Canton. I was back in town briefly around 2004 and a co-worker from Toronto attempted to grab dinner there. He sat down and nobody came to his table, a fellow patron said “you need to go order from the cook” – he just left. I dont think they were in business much longer
