Somewhat disappointed that Wing Machine didn't expand into the Wicks. I guess it's destined to be another place where well-dressed white people can safely eat on Parliament St.

Just month's after the Bargain Shop re-branded as "MyMark" they are going out of business. The location on Parliament has a going out of business sale - everything must go. Apparently the chain is in creditor protection and Dollarama is rumored to be interested in taking over many locations. Hopefully Parliament street will be one of them!

I walked by the other day and could see inside; it looks like Dollarama has taken over the space.

I can't wait for 420 Smokehouse to open. I really hope that it's a good BBQ place.

bbq?

I can't tell if you're making a joke about their name, or if you don't know what bbq means. I'm guessing the former. Well done.

Parliament Street restaurants are getting punny; "Pho U" is opening soon in a long abandoned space on the west side, just south of Gerrard.

"420 Smokehouse" sounds like something out of Amsterdam.

I tried out Local Jest in the old Ben Wicks space. It was awful. It'll probably last a year. Thank God for The HoP, because dining options between the DVP and Yonge are horrid.

It was obviously a joke. It's good to have a sense of humour.

Yes I know...in an irony that will likely be lost on you, my comment was also meant to be humorous.

That would be great. Dollarama is the best for kids craft and school supplies.

I saw the potential for irony, but it didn't register as funny at first. So I never laughed. Keep trying different things.

It really surprises me that the other discount stores weren't able to survive there. I hope Dollarama has a winning formula, because it really is a great place for a lot of things (it always amazes me what you can find there for a buck or two).

I was there a few weeks ago on a Monday evening. I found my food was fairly good but my friend's dish was cold. Twice. Service was poor, despite it being as empty as Ben Wick's was. I don't see it lasting that long either unless it steps up its game, quickly. HoP is great, but too busy.

Good news, of a sort...
