It is kind of sad to see one of Canada's first companies go away in a furious liquidation.



I still remember growing up and going to south centre and there was an Eaton's and a Bay. Our family used to shop at the Bay a lot because it was literally a one stop shop from clothes, to toys to tools to home decorating and appliances.



I can't remember the last time I went into a Bay, but it was probably a decade ago, I remember the last time I went it seemed so tired and it smelled like old people.



I seem to remember that the Hudson's Bay Company was established in about 1670 as outposts for trading and they followed the establishment of Canada setting up small posts across the country.



Now its gone.

Shame, some of their downtown locations are amazing buildings.
