[ARB]

Also, perhaps more Cabbagetown than Church & Wellesley, but apparently Chew Chews has closed. Source. This sign is on the door.

New sign on the door says they'll be reopening, and there's evidence of renovation work going on inside.

So the linear park just east of Yonge is coming along. Taken 8 July. There seemed to be an absence of tragic poverty or sketch. A change perhaps?!

That will probably change once it opens.

You mean no encampment in the middle of an active construction site, behind fences? You don't say........... LOL

PS, we have a dedicated thread for this project that you may wish to post your photo in:

George Hislop Park, Norman Jewison Park and Alexander Street Parkette

So it seems like they've finished redoing the roof of the parking structure under the Alexander St Parkette (it's been covered in gravel for a few weeks now), so now we just wait and see when the City actually starts to rebuild the park.

"Very soon" turns out to be October 12. Someone working inside saw me taking this picture and he said they had issues with getting licenses from the city.

Boutique Bar has reopened in the Village in the former Smith at 553 Church.

I got an ad for it on a social media feed and thought the matrix was broke, for a minute.
