The Sunday afternoon post spurred reminiscence of teen years, paycheques spent on CDs and concert tickets and visits to all three LyleBԪַs Place locations across Greater Victoria. Posters recalled locations in Langford and James Bay fondly, while some lamented an inability to get to the Victoria locale in time for its expected mid-October closing.
