Longstanding beloved NDG hardware store becomes hopefully beloved trendy bag store

For 44 or so years, this spot on Upper Lachine near Girouard was a paint and hardware store run by an Italian named Simone (see link for photos) whose wife took over after he had a stroke. They put the joint up on the market and although it took a while, it eventually sold and will become a trendy bag store called hamburgsyle.com as soon as the studly young guy gets the finishing touches done. hamburgstyle.com eh?... I don't recall Simone's having a website.
