Farewell True Brew

A keen observer noticed a sign in the window of True Brew saying that they will be closing for good tomorrow, October 13.  DECA worked with owner Sylvia to update this space earlier this year, and we are very sad to see it go.

Groundbreaking News

There was some heavy machinery heard from behind the boards around the ‘big hole’, where the condo is supposed to be going up near Danforth & Woodbine.  Could it be that the ground has been broken at last???

When is the Dollarama opening?

Today!  Today, October 1, 2012 is the day that the Dollarama is opening.  The paper came down over the weekend and the sign on the door promised that today would be the day.  Let the Hallowe’en decorating begin!

When is the condo going to be built?

A huge building permit sign has appeared on the Carmelina Condominiums site, which has been a vacant pit for more than decade. Excavation equipment has started to arrive and developer Frank Magno hopes to break ground by mid-October. “We still have a few things to work out with the surveyors and stuff like that, but we’re getting close,” he says. The 148-unit, 12-storey building with ground-floor retail is supposed to be completed in fall 2013.

Stay tuned for details about this Thursday’s Harvest Moon Festival at the East Lynn Farmers’ Market.  Ponies, music and bouncy castles, oh my!
