Yes, perhaps the conversation is about where there's a party to attend or where to buy drugs. Friday night downtown Simcoe -- bored, lonely, teen angst. The multiple sins of the young and restless.

...at left, in gold letters, is Agnew-Surpass, a shoe store. Then, the neon sign says "jeweller", which one I can't recall. Then it's Bob Thornton's Variety Store - a big double-sized store. He sold cigs, pop, of course, but he was also a small department store selling some clothing, "Dinkey" toy cars and trucks {which we bought in the 60's for pennies,and are worth a small fortune today), greeting cards, gifts, novelties, comics, etc. Lotteries, legal ones anyway, didn't exist then so no one sold tickets. Next is Colling Shoes, yellowish sign, just above the talker's head. Then we have the Singer sewing machine store, red block letters over white background. This became the Lynn Valley Electronics store in 1972, I believe. And, finally, on the corner is the new Simcoe Discount Store. The wide horizontal white lights,at center photo, are across Kent Street, and headline Rudy Halmo Jewellers. The blue car at front is parked in front of Woolworth's.

...appears to be Christmas time on Robinson Street looking west up the street from Norfolk towards the old Armory and arena.
