Yes, that makes perfect sense. The building on the southeast corner of Queen/Yonge has just such an arrangement. A tiny Charbucks(I have to call it that because my best friend owns 2 Second Cups<full disclosure>and says their coffee has a strong burnt taste and more importantly they are not...

Charbucks?? Ugh. They closed a great Second Cup to put a Tim Hortons in this building and now a Charbucks is going in. Where? The Hair Salon? or maybe where the variety store is on the Northeast corner on Bloor. Unless Pizza Manna is closing there is no other spot

I believe you are right about Straight being "done" but it's still the same owner I saw entering the building a few days ago. She also owns Wish restaurant and 7 West on Charles St East and West respectively. Commercial Brown Kitchen is the new name of the restaurant according to the sign that...

Guys, the Black Eagle is the one place I go on Church where a wide variety of music can be heard. It's certainly not scheduled as an event and fully up to the bartender. But it's the one place where I find myself asking the bartender what's playing.

It's too bad about Yefseis. It was run by the family that opened Pita Pan in this location more than 10 years ago. It was quite busy for 5 or more years. (Can't remember exact dates, sorry.) But the mother told me hard economic times in Greece caused them to move back here and reopen their old...

Apparently the owner George feels that Mandy Goodhandy's gets away with quite a bit of without an adult license, so why not Flash.

Roy G Biv you are absolutely right. The concept of Statlers is something I crave in the Village and they had some great entertainers there over the years. But the drama of watching people fight for tables and space to stand as well as the struggle to get a drink made it horribly uncomfortable...

Have the glass balcony panels been a problem at Casa anyone? Crews today have been going around tightening bolts on the outside of balcony's . A panel on the south side is replaced with plywood now and one on the east side is replaced with wire mesh, it appears. Did they fall or is this just...

Here are a few pics of the plaza demolished. The security guard at the building just south of here told my friend, who lives there, that the Shoppers Drug Mart will be used for the sales centre. Good idea.

Yeaaaa. Finally this corner is getting attention. I thought they might leave this bit to the bitter end.(Well, they kinda did.) It's been quite difficult to pass by here during pedestrian rush hours on weekdays.

Not that it implies anything concrete but there has been in the past weeks some demolition going on to get rid of the old Shoppers Drug Mart and the rest of the plaza. About 5 or 6 month ago the plaza was on fire but it was just for filming.

I hope these bike racks go really deep into the ground or physics will not work in their favor. Having walked this stretch dozens of times in the past few months I don't recall seeing any protrusions that these were then later attached to.

Yes, I did see that Woody''s always seemed to have a large line up. I'm sure that's not a holdover effect from tourists wanting to see where Queer as Folk was filmed. But your right about the parties. I forgot that not only were there the Prism parties but we tend to get competing parties lately...

It was a great feeling for sure, in part due to the events of the previous weekend. It felt like the police were glad for the break. But the numbers seemed down. On Sat. night at 11:30 the Wood St. beer garden and stage was 75% empty, partly I'm sure because Cyndi Lauper was in Queen's Park...

Perhaps Pizzaiolo is going to serve the booze that makes us crave the pizza. Good business sense. Woody's should have put a pizza joint in the Priape space 2 years ago when they left.

Hey guys, Just thought I'd share a picture of my view of the Church/ Wellesley neighborhood. If you look really closely you can see the south tower of Palace Pier and a bit of the north tower between the condo on bay with the pink glass and the converted apt. building on Gloucester. Enjoy.

Looking at the pic again it seems to be at 1 Bloor. But at some points Casa was behind it so it must have been pics for Chaz.

They had a little blimp taking pictures of the views buyers will get from Chaz. This was Tuesday morning. It said Blimp Pics on the side of it. It didn't look to the west very often. The pic is from mid level. It went much higher also.

Oh what the hell, here it is.

The lights are on tonight and they look great. Caught me off guard. But my camera sucks or my photog ability sucks. In any case I'm sure you all will be quick to get the pics up. My attempt looks more like a UFO landing by a trailerhome.
