The Fetish Fair is gone, that's basically the Village Fair now (a more PG-13 related event) - and the street is closed down for that too
The Barn is going to be a bar/pub/restaurant? There's a sign on the door saying it's coming soon, with a name. I forget the name.
I bet it will fail.

Not all LGBTQQs are affluent, upper-middle class, white men.I'm confused. Do gay people have some predisposition to liking banal "ye olde" theme pubs with crummy food? Because it seems like there are a lot of them in and around the village and they usually smell bad and look like they haven't been cleaned properly in decades. For a demographic that supposedly has lots of expendable income and appreciates novelty and style, the local merchants seem to be providing dining options that would be more appropriate in a small-town Ontario student ghetto. They say the village is dying, but it's probably because nobody is doing anything to make the village establishments interesting or appealing - so the gays go elsewhere. Why wouldn't they?
Yes, it's true that not all of us gays are affluent, upwardly-mobile (young and attractive) white men but most people in the community want to be associated with that demographic and therefore advertising and any social-status-related aspect will have a spotlight on that type of demographic. Given Toronto's diversity however, you'll occasionally see a non-white male thrown in for 'diversity/inclusion's sake' so there won't be too many complaints from persons of color.
Oh, we have deviated from the thread a tad bit too much; let's revert back, shall we?
