Looking for the awesome shoe repair place that, until very recently, was in Eglinton station?
They've moved to the 2nd floor of the Canada Square building at 2200 Yonge St.
If you're standing in front of their old location, go up the stairs to the southwest corner of Yonge and Eglinton, then up the next set of stairs (or the escalator) into Canada Square.
Then keep walking south through the building (parallel to Yonge, away from Eglinton). Go past the little stairs that go down to the lobby, past the elevators, and keep going. It's, on the left side (closest to Yonge St.) about three storefronts past the point where you start thinking "Did I miss it?" You can see the big red boot through the store windows. If you reach TPH The Printing House, you've gone too far.
The nice people at City Shoe Repair have saved my ass and my shoes multiple times, including when my shoes literally fell apart while I was walking down the street and when my boot wouldn't unzip leaving me stuck inside it. So hopefully I can use my googleability to help people find them now that their new location has less foot traffic.

Shoe repair in subway stations... makes me a wee bit homesick for urban life.
I hope they can stay in business on the 2nd floor.
I hope so too. There are some other businesses, shops, hairdressers, etc. on the second floor, but it's nowhere near the foot traffic you get being right next to the subway turnstiles.
