A friendly and familiar staple to customers near and far, Little Rapids General Store owners will enter semi-retirement when they close the historic establishment Friday
A long-running chapter inside one of the area’s most-storied structures is coming to an end this week.
Widely regarded as one of the most popular attractions along the north shore, the store has maintained its traditional look and neighbourly atmosphere while other like-minded establishments have gone under in recent years. “I met Kim at Sault College when I was taking aviation,” he says. “We got married and used to come down here all the time on holidays. It was such a beautiful community, and it just felt good being around here.”
Around that time, the couple discovered they needed more room for inventory, which sparked their decision to open Forestland in downtown Thessalon. Merv has also maintained hand-written bills and has kept a countless number of old copies — some dating back to the early 1900s. While that easygoing style of running a business is virtually unheard of today, Brooks says he’s proud of moments like that one because it’s helped define what Little Rapids General Store has meant to the thousands of customers who have walked through the front door.

Carmakers fail privacy test, give owners little or no control on personal data they collectBOSTON (AP) — Cars are getting an “F” in data privacy. Most major manufacturers admit they may be selling your personal information, a new study finds, with half also saying they would share it with the government or law enforcement without a court order. The proliferation of sensors in automobiles — from telematics to fully digitized control consoles — has made them prodigious data-collection hubs.
