I'm so happy to see the marquee artfully restored to its original (1950's) form:

Please tell me you're joking. Oy vey. A BULK BARN? I thought the Tutti Fruity was bad. They could've put anything there; a restaurant, a take-away, an anything else (except cash advance place or discount luggage store).

It is going to be their new urban concept so it wont be the same as a typical bulk barn

Yeah, I don't see the concern with a Bulk Barn (other than their generally unfortunate design). A bulk food store will serve the neighbourhood just as well as another restaurant. Hopefully their new "urban format" addresses the generally uninspiring and dull appearance of their regular stores though.

Between MLG Loblaws, the sports centre and Bulk Barn this whole strip of Carlton is changing quickly (I like the Bulk Barn so I'm happy to read about that!)

lol! the bulk barn is kinda random but i'll take it.. anyone know why the Tridel store is closing/what was the Tridel store for anyway???... i'd rather have a Mcdonalds or A&W or something go in there because wasn't the mcdonalds site purchased by a developer?
