A couple of reader submitted photos today. These show the old Crown Submarine on Dougall Ave. The business was closed and awaiting demolition for the Walmart store that’s there today. This photo would have been taken probably about 2000.

The original Burger King was located on the east side of Dougall slightly north of the expressway.The property was later developed into Families First Funeral Home who eventually re-located further south on Dougall.At last check,the property was still for sale.
I vaguely remember that Burger King but this goes back to the early 80's? I remember Preney Print and Litho and some sort of golf store being around there. Seems like a terrible spot for any retailer due to the traffic island preventing left turns by people heading south on Dougall.
I believe the first Burger King in Canada is/was the one at Tecumseh and Lauzon.
The eventual installation of the traffic island is what helped closed what was in the '70s one of the busiest Burger Kings in Windsor. I remember going there with my parents when I was a child. It's a pretty interesting explore back there with plenty of remnants of the pasts; and covered elsewhere on I.M. (see post about South Cameron ghost street).
I recall that the Burger King just east of Crysler on Tecumseh Rd.notth side was first.
WOW, i remember this sub place very well especially after a weekend of good times! the crown sub place with the greek brothers Nick & Steve. the "onions" phrase on how they said it was just great ,no doubt- i remember nick saying "you like de onyons" and yes he allways asked "where da pary tonight" you guys made great subs!!! with the onyons of course LOL. and there buns were fresh, they were just crusty.
Does anyone know what it is that has happned to the Brothers Twin, Nick and Steve?
