I was there and by chance happened to get to the corner of North French 
and Transit Road when what should I spot in the Tops supermarket mall 
but a Subway sandwich shop.  I hurried on over to have a look but no 
super-sized photos of vegetables were to be found.  But I guess there 
could be a dozen Subways on Transit Road.
