So it was good, but not great. A person I was with had some kind of club sandwich and that looked pretty good.

$13-15 for a sandwich. They must think they’re in an airport or something.

Can anyone comment on that spin studio on Kensington Rd just off 10th (YYC bike I think it's called?)? I'm a member at Urban athlete, but their spin classes are either full or at bad times.

Boy is there a lot of Weed places going into Kensington. I have counted 4 in a block radius so far. If they all get rezoned and approved that is.

I went there for dinner yesterday for the second time.
First visit was a few weeks ago. They have improved quite a bit. Service and food were really fast.
They also made some changes to their menu since the opening. It's not an amazing place but I enjoyed my meal and will go back.

Hostess kept disappearing to the kitchen for long periods. No one greeted me for 15 minutes, so I left. All the other guests seemed really annoyed too.

Owner given deadline to decide on demolishing 'derelict' Kensington Manor

About 125 people had to flee with little notice due to concerns over building's structural safety

The owner has until June 30 to indicate if he intends to demolish or remediate the structure.

I’m hoping they demolish it and then build something really nice in that location. What’s the point of dumping more money into fixing that ugly falling apart building?

Went to Oxbow tonight and it was great! Half price Friday wine bottles was a huge plus.

We were wondering about this joint. Our usual go-to is Globefish, but Cho's pricing didnt seem much better. Hopefully there service picks up a bit as it should do ok there.

Stoked for the Marcus ice cream shop. Should be open soon.

Even that new pharmacy will be nice. Now all West Hillhurst needs is a bakery...

Just noticed 10th Street Landing was permanently shuttered at the end of May. Seems like it is being gutted for something new?

Liked it better as FATS, than as a gastropub.

The adjacent liquor store is taking over the entire space, was just talking to a couple of the employees there on Monday. Both businesses are owned by the same person.

... are they going to have a big selection or just have a lot of empty space? That'd be a pretty big liquor store if they fill it. I like that store... great selection of beers and wine for the space they have
