Here's seven minutes of Golden Girl Bea Arthur starring in commercials for Canadian drug store Shopper's Drug Mart.

I love the recurring ads with Santa Claus the best :-D Plus, Bea gave it her all even though it they were just commercials!

The little cowboy mascot, Alphy, was fun. An Alpha Beta was across the street from Gran and Gramps' home because the other side of the street was zoned commercial in their small town. It sure was convenient to walk across to shop - in later years the large building became batting cages for Little Leaguer practice, also fun. At Christmas each year a local rancher brought in a few reindeer to a small pen inside to show kids what they were like! Short, is what they were like, maybe 4 feet at the shoulder. Somehow I'd pictured them elk-sized.

There's a few hours left in the day where I live! You know, it's been over 20 years since Wal-Mart bought out Woolco and I still miss the place. I have dreams about it now and then. My brother and I used to buy packages of cancelled stamps for $1.50, cheap toys and the one near where we lived had a restaurant called Strawberry Street.
