That's a throwback! I was confused for a minute with Dufferin Games Room, but Den For Men must've disappeared a decade earlier.

Den for Men was like Sharper Image. They had random male executive desk/basement toys like mini putting greens, plasma globes, cigar paraphernalia, and apparently Sega Genesises

You mean the OG one in Chinatown across from Harry Hays?

Too bad the son does not want to take over. It is literally a license to print money...

I am surprised how unbusy Trung Nguyen is by comparison.

Weird that Apple Maps shows it as “permanently closed”, was just there on Sunday.

I had no idea this was so far along already, and demolition could start in June.

City takes ownership of Eau Claire townhomes, says former owners can leave or sign lease to stay

I feel for those homeowners going through that process with the City, but as an outsider those townhomes were always a bit of an odd duck in that location, so it should be a net positive for the rest of us. I wasn't blown away with the plaza concept for what will replace it, but hopefully it turns out well.

Those townhouses should never have been built in the first place. They were one of reasons the area never developed any vibrancy because they complained about noise from the Hard Rock Cafe, etc.

Agreed Hack, wildly out of place for their location. I do feel for what they've been through.
