You can’t just call yourself a dive bar. That has to be earned!

Plaza Theatre now closing. Understandable under the circumstances.

I saw on the news that they just aren't renewing the lease? Someone else could and still run the theatre.

What if the Plaza could be turned into a live music venue?

The sloped floor would probably be a challenge. I assume you'd want to remove seats?

A club would be great. Turn Kensington Road into the new Red Mile or Electric Ave. We can start with Julio's and Plaza. If you build it they will come.

Maybe seats could stay if there was enough room at the front of the stage for dancing?

Before the Carpenters Union Hall was torn down, my fantasy was to turn that into a music venue.

Looks like SwizzleSticks is toast. They sent out an email a few days ago. Some of the stylists are moving to a place on 17th Ave, so at least some of the people will still have jobs.

SwizzleSticks was such an odd name for anything other than a cocktail lounge.

I think they've been selling the donuts out of Vendome for a while. Wife brought some home and they were divine.

Holy Cow appears to be another Teatro group place, so that would make sense.

We went to Scuba Jay's the other week (on the patio!). Actually prefer it to Midtown which I always thought had a great location but was generic and overpriced.

$5 beers and straightforward snacks is kinda perfect for a global pandemic

Aggudo Coffee taking over the Second Cup spot. Looks like they have one location downtown on 8th Ave already.

That is great. Never was a fan of Second Cup. Think I have been in one a handful of times in my life.

Sounds like they source their own coffee too. Not another Fratello joint, which I am not a fan of either.

Will be good to get coffee there and hop over to Sidewalk for a croissant, could be a great paring!
