Where was the main factory where the TR7 was assembled? Was it close to the A45?

Right beside. Some one posted a picture that there was a TR7 store there now (in a strip mall). Looked like a dollar store but not sure. Don't know if it was knocked down to make shopping center or converted (over here it would have been knocked down).

It looks like the area has been torn down and new buildings put up so even if you had the address it may have changed with the rebuild.

I had owned three new duplexes in Calgary in the 70's, when I went back in the early 2000's, I tried to find them and could only find the one I had lived in after much searching, things had changed so much. I think the other two were torn down.

No found them on google maps. Tried for a whole afternoon with just a map and memory about ten years ago and couldn't do it.

Not it was a shot of the front of the store, Red sign with black TR7 on it. I thought it was on this site but could have been elsewhere.

Nothing wrong with a little KFC now and again. It's that health food stuff that'll kill you. They had to pull some organic frozen berries from Costco last spring because it had hepatitis in it.
