Great Video; As a child my mom took me to N&D grocery shopping every Wednesday; decades later I could still describe the exact layout of the store as well as where various products were kept within. bouquets I still have various old Windsor shopping bags (including N&D & BigV) around the house as well as some older newspapers and pamphlets/advertisements. Next time I got through this stuff in the basement, I'll pop you a note on here. Loved the video but; I did frown at the 4:15 mark when you stated "That's the Queen of England's Royal Yacht Britannia etc ..." Tisk tisk, She was domestically The Queen of Canada since February 1952 - by Proclamation of Her Canadian Parliament. :)
Good news! Yorktown square sign has lit up again and it's gorgeous! I've lived in south Windsor for a long time now and I've never noticed the sign until now, I've never seen a fancier sign like it before.
My sister loved N&D and saved those stamps! 😆 Mom told me when their family moved to Windsor from Sturgeon Falls in 1940, she was mezmorized by all the lights. It's also something I loved too - looking all the lights and lit signs at night, barely being able to look out the window in the back seat of our car while Dad drove back from wherever we had been.
Yes, this was great Herb lived across the street onVictoria I married the youngest son of Windsor Walkerville Mp. Mark R MacGuigan, having the only grandchildren I helped in 95the Mayor of Tecumseh keeping the town not part of Windsor & put on the 75 yr reunion @ Victoria public school where I asked Herb to speak as he went there as a child.
What a great video!! Was there that night when the sign was lit up! It was a very cold night, but worth seeing!! We used the N & D stamps all the time! Keep up the good work Mike!
I remember that they also delivered our groceries! I loved the sucker man and my friends and I sat under that sign a lot! I think you should write about the scarlet brigade band - It was the only Windsor band to win the Canadian national band competition in the 80’s.
Correct me if I am wrong here, but I believe N&D stood for Nick and Danny?! Love the Windsor content Michael! As a young Windsorite, seeing all this historical stuff has always been fascinating. Thank you for curating such fascinating content
Great job on this one, we all went searching for the sucker man! Lol Would love to see an episode on the beautiful old building on Front Road in LaSalle, I heard it was originally a brewery?
Nick (Nikola) Budimir & Danny Manojlovich. I noticed Jon Hyttenrauch in the post credits. Any relationship to former cashier Mary Hyttenrauch? Didn't see a comment on the fire in the Store...late 60's or 70 maybe. Since my father worked at the Grand Marais Store, we had a supply of smoke flavored chocolate. Growing up as a kid, it was part of my life.
I'm not sure about the relationship between Jon and Mary. Jon is in the credits because it was his photo of the plaza from 1959. Great story a out the fire and chocolate 🍫
I grew up at 3681 Mackay ave. between Dominion and Cabana from 58 to 70. We would ride down there and spend hours. Wasn't Tops Dairy Bar close by??? Slot car track comes to mind???
Some of my earliest memories are of the N&D supermarket, and of being fitted for school shoes at the children's shoe store (the name of which escapes me now) in the same plaza. I was pigeon-toed so my shoes had to be customized with orthotics. How do I get an N&D t-shirt? :-)
Her Majesty saying "Hello!!" . Love it. 👍

Yes great news! I drive by it every day and it always makes me happy to see it.
Thank you Micheal for these Gems!
My pleasure Rob.

Thanks for the memories
My pleasure!
I grew up on Curry and walked to Christ the King every day...we used to cut through the N&D in the winter to stay warm!

OMG, the sucker man. I remember him!
I love your videos of Windsor mike!!!!!!!
Thanks you!
I remeber mostly the Hi Ho on Tecumseh Road East. I used to hang out there a lot in the early 1970s.
Great Video
Thank you! 😊
Nick and Dan. So many memories of that store!
Awww I love this. We used to shop at N &D.
Easy - Nick & Danny are the actual names behind the N&D supermarket name
I still have a half of book of N&D stamps
Loved seeing the comparisons of what things looked like vs how they look now! You should definitely make more content like that!
What a great video!! Was there that night when the sign was lit up! It was a very cold night, but worth seeing!! We used the N & D stamps all the time! Keep up the good work Mike!
Thank you Jacqueline. 😊
@@MikeEvansWindsor You're welcome! It was a great and very informative video!
Really well done. Grew up with N&D. Worked at Agnew-Surpass shoes. Great memories. Thanks
Amazing I love this Thank you
My pleasure. It brings me joy to see that sign lit up again.
I remember that they also delivered our groceries! I loved the sucker man and my friends and I sat under that sign a lot!

Very nice, I had some friends that played in the Scarlet Brigade.
I have seen some photos of them from their heyday as well.

Love the Windsor content Michael! As a young Windsorite, seeing all this historical stuff has always been fascinating. Thank you for curating such fascinating content
We have a winner! Good memory Simon.
Thank you for saying. I really enjoy making these videos!
@@MikeEvansWindsor that’s awesome! Those Yorktown sign pins are sweet!
I remember going to N & D when I was a kid with my mother and getting a haircut from dominion barbershop thanks for the memories

Thank you. Thank you for the episode idea.
Nick Budimir and Dan Manojlovich were what ‘N&D’ came from.
Really enjoyed this video. Thank you Mike!
love this -- thank you
My next door neighbour's father, Mr.Baranowski, was a butcher at N&D
good job loved it

N & D ... my guess is Nickel & Dime (just a guess)
Bravo!!
There were actually 3 original people in the business., Nick Steve and Dan
Loved this, it would be awesome if it was relit.
#FreePiskey
Mike, i know the name of the first cashier in that photo
Do you have a video of the big ESSO sign that was by the Ambassador Bridge?
No I do not.
Do you know who constructed the Yorktown sign?
Nick and Danny’s

Great memories. Check out the brand dread clothing website.
Isn’t there a neon sign on top on the ambassador bridge as well?
I would be very surprised if it is. 🤔
I'll ask next time I go over.
So what do the N and D stand for?
Wonderful doc Michael. But there’s no such thing as a good banana popsicle LOL
Maybe it's the Mandela effect! I swear I had banana popsicles when I was a kid.
@@MikeEvansWindsor Yes, there were really great banana popsicles when we were kids!!!
