I was in Costco last week and they already had Halloween costumes.

Costco is notorious for selling Hallowe'en and Christmas merchandise months before anyone else, although Costco always says that at that early date they sell most of it, particularly the decorations, to small businesses.

And I went to Pier 1 up on Eg & Laird last weekend looking for items to "redecorate" our balcony -- and yes, I first hit Moss on the Danforth and bought stuff there -- but 90% of the floor area was fall stuff, coloured leaves wreaths, etc. By September, we'll be shopping for Xmas stuff.

Also noticed on the Danforth, that unused portion on the east side of the now Anestis (formerly a whole bunch of other Greek restos) is a hair salon.

Global Pet Foods is moving closer to Broadview.

Causing some consternation among loyal customers of the other nearby pet store, until that owner posted this nice comment on Facebook:

Yes, I am a member of that group. ;-)

Shoppers has their Halloween candy out already too. At least the one on Pape does.

I have no objection to that.

Damn those little KitKats

Hah! I was just at Costco last night, and my wife and I were puzzled to see Hallowe'en merchandise out already as well. Although, if they are selling to smaller businesses I can sort of understand.

Lady Marmalade is moving to 265 Broadview in the spring (just south of Gerrard).

Now that is an interesting development. May there be many more.

Glad to see today a new Greek restaurant -- yeah, just the usual but nice looking -- at 730 Danforth, NE corner of Eaton next to Rogers. Bite Me Grill used to be there, I think.

I wonder if it's the same owners, bite me grill actually was Greek as well.

I just found the website. Looks like it.

The owners had been trying to sell Bite Me for quite some time. I guess they eventually decided on a new strategy, and I hope they do well.

Bite Me Grill owed over six month in back rent, and had not paid the staff for the past two month when they closed.

Greek Grill is a new restaurant that was started by the current landlord who previously owned other restaurants. They also hired back all the former staff of Bite Me Grill and paid their outstanding salary.

The food, service and pricing are all reasonable, especially the All Day Breakfast.
