-F aces! The old boat launch beside the dock at the end of Queen St., Lake Scugog -1965 After a few months of very little happening with this business community, here in the first week of May, we are reporting a considerable amount of shuffling. To start things out this month - a couple of hair salons have joined forces. J. Sowa-Joy Hair Salon, formerly located in the Purple House at 1595 Hwy. 7A, and White Orchid Hair Salon, formerly located at 56 Perry St., have teamed up and will operate under the new name Studio 165 Salon & Spa at 165 Casimir St. On the same street, Inner Beauty & Health, who had been operating from 186 Casimir St. for the past couple of years has now relocated to Unit 1 at 176 Perry St. The Hunter House at 174 Mary Street has a new ten- ant. Paula R. McMurtry, Barrister & Solicitor, opened last month for the practice of family law and general civil litigation. Also along the same stretch, at 240 Mary St., Karen Le Blanc has opened Family Mediation Services providing alternative solutions for separating couples. Another business that has relocated is the Super Video Store which has moved from it’s long time corner stand at 1874 Scugog St., around the corner to new space about three doors away, one unit of the former Quickert’s Frozen Food store. Opening a couple of weeks ago in the unit beside the Super Video Store is a new country decor store called “You're So Country.” Owners Pauline and Bill Sterling closed their Oshawa location, of the same name, to move to Port Perry. The Port Perry Pharmacy sign and awning which had been a mainstay at 209 Queen St. for so long has been removed and replaced with a temporary sign. The popular downtown drug store has taken on the new name Remedy’s RX. If you're an ice cream lover, you'll have another choice of places to get your favourite flavour of cone this summer. The “Super Scooper” has opened its doors, at 158 Water St. for the season. It was unfortunate to learn that the freezers were unplugged and the door locked up last month at Meats, Meals ‘n More, 54 Water St. This frozen food business had only been in town for a couple of years before its closure. And although we're a little late with this one, we've been informed that Ryan Haslam regretfully closed the Seagrave General Store the end of January this year. East of Port Perry, in Scugog’s industrial lands, we see that Carstar Collision Service has moved from its for- mer location at 14100 Hwy. 12 & 7A to new improved facilities at 27 Easy St., Port Perry. After more than a year under construction and renovations, the attractive Low & Low Funeral Home at 1763 Reach St. has been completed. The owners held an official open house on March 21. Awwww! adorable, fluffy, little baby animals.
