I know: we met there the last night it was open.

Graham Greene - former store manager at Active Surplus - now runs The 
Gorilla Store out of the Science Centre. They sell select surplus from 
that location, and a tiny location inside Steam Labs/Tool Library on 
Spadina. I understand that Graham has custody of Professor Banana, aka 
the gorilla.

If you can make it out to Kitchener, K-W Surplus is full of bizarre 
stuff (look for the Spitfire on the roof, and the tank parked in the 
parking lot). Their sister store Forest City Surplus in London is not 
bad either.

cheers,
