Look more carefully! As noted above there is still about 100 meters of mud just south of Eastern Avenue - it's being worked on 'as we speak'.

No mud any more. Asphalt all the way. Still needs another coat, but moving fast.

Still looks like it will take them a bit of time to get the last piece of Bayview in though, up the hill.

It looks like some work is going on inside one of the retail units at 569 king east. I can't seem to find any indication as to what might be going in there.

According to the sign on the front door they will be operating out of 18 Wynford Drive after February 13.

I have read that the building on the southeast corner of king and sackville has been leased to a paint store. 475 King east I believe.

lame.

Lame indeed, but I can only imagine that with the occupation of corktown district phase 2, river city, the king east and the TCHC building at 589 we will start to see businesses that serve the community better on a day to day basis.

Yeah, it's actually a good thing. For a neighbourhood to truly shine you need a smorgasbord of things - bars, furniture and lighting shops butchers, greengrocers, cheese shops, restos galore, florists, cafes, small medical offices, boutiques, hardware stores - and, yes, paint stores. It's not what goes into one specific locale - it's the net effect that's crucial.

Deli / cafe would have served me much better. And a new paint store was opened at Sackville and Queen last year. Fuck, a dry cleaner would have been more welcomed by me. Such potential in that little space, especially with its patio - but alas, it will become a car pad once again.

Do you guys know the status of that proposed office building beside the SAS office building ?

Not sure if it is in Corktown (which normally stops at Parliament) but it is still 'in the pipeline".

Ethel, the vintage store from Leslieville, is moving into the space vacated by Public Mobile on the south side of Queen, between Parliament and Berkeley. Another vintage store, Even and Odd, is opening up next to Redline Coffee. Retail is slowly turning the bend in Corktown!
