Don’s Photo moves on from fading Portage Avenue image
6 minute read Thursday, Jan. 26, 2023Take a picture before it’s gone.
Don’s Photo signs plaster an otherwise barren building at the corner of Portage and Kennedy. Advertisements for Canon and Fujifilm mingle with “We Are Moving!” and “We Have Moved” announcements on the windows.
“The area that we were in has changed a lot,” said Mike Godfrey, Don’s Photo’s president. “We just felt it was time.”
The family-owned business had occupied 410 Portage Ave. for 21 years. It officially bid adieu Monday, when it opened on the corner of Broadway and Edmonton.
