POINTE-CLAIRE – As Pointe-Claire Video shuts its doors, after a 36-year stint, a new question arises that could be tied to the future of the Pointe-Claire Plaza.

Namely, what will go in an upstairs space now that the second-largest tenant of a 6,000 square-foot space is leaving?

Peter Green, owner of Ted’s Hobby Shop, is one such tenant.
