I imagine we'll see something in-line with the Firkin Group's recent changes to their John Street "Friar & Firkin" pub.

Phew! It's still a good place to have a pint or two (three); comfortable atmosphere, not pretentious. Although, I don't know who they're fooling with the TSN on the screen. Lol.

Dimness is good in a pub! Lol. I hate it when it's too bright. Especially in a "gay pub": the dimmer the better. Takes 4 years off of you.

The old Country Style spot beside Hero's is up for lease again. Empty for 2 years now I think.

For lease sign up at 7/24. So much for Starbucks moving in.

A rumour that Xtra reported as fact though (not that they couldn't get it wrong).

^^ That is depressing! If the Priape & 24/7 video stores become one big bank location, I'm gonna freak out. I can't think of anything that will destroy that corner and kill its vibe, then that. OK, now I'm really getting worried. (and MAD!)
Look how the Bank of Montreal totally destroyed the vibe on Alexander Street. It's a completely dead space now.

Ew! So the gays are going to be eating crispy ceasar wraps at mcdonalds instead of renting cool videos and buying sexy bathing suites? Jeez Louise.

In my building on Gloucester St. we were the only family with children for about 8 years, now there are 4 families and it seems all the new tenants in the building are either families or heterosexual students. The area definitely seems to be going through a transition.
