WHAT'S HAPPENING ON CITIFIED VICTORIA
I don't know, but since it's subsidized by the other Williams properties it doesn't really matter how financially successful it is.

Employee tip: if a leasing agent shows up at your job and starts taking pictures, it would be a good time to consider updating your resume.

The Canada.com story about the rats in the McDonald's refers to "The McDonald's restaurant on Douglas Street..."

I assumed it was the one by Chapters. But it isn't. Methinks they should have clarified the matter.

Ya, I had to think hard to place it as the one opposite CDN Tire. Does that put Quizno's and others in the same building? Rising Star been there long time, no?

I believe that bakery has been for sale for at least a year, I guess there were no takers...

So as stated in the Sabri's thread the Naanwich is coming downtown. Still we all knew the writing was on the wall for the Souper Cafe. New restaurant owners please note. Hand painted pieces of plywood may save you signage cost but they are also a sure way to make it on this list.

I saw that when I was downtown yesterday and I laughed because I knew G-Man would be celebrating.

Hah! Yes me too, I was looking at it and thinking - I read about this moving here..
Nowadays most people die of a sort of creeping common sense, and discover when it is too late that the only things one never regrets are one's mistakes.

Time we revive this thread. Any establishments that appear to be on their last legs? Are the servers asking you to pay them in cash? Are the kitchen staff going home with lobsters down their pants? Is the boss sneaking liquor when no-one is looking? Let's hear it.

Plastic cutlery, paper plates and the cook with long unwashed hair delivers it to your table. I dunno pehaps if you saw behind the kitchen door in some places, you might never eat out again.
Ps; I did see a guy last week with crabs dropping out of his pants.

I wonder how well Posh (in the Mosaic) is doing?

^It seems to be doing OK. People suspect it's dead because it's empty half the time as they close after lunch and don't open again until later in the evening.

In the upmarket, both Lumiere and DB Bistro in Vancouver are shutting in two weeks. Quite a blow, as Lumiere was at the vanguard of fine dining in Canada.
The reasons no doubt are many, but I suspect they fell victim to intense competition from truly local players, in a market that supports the local restaurant in the middle to high end.
I also heard tonight that Stage is for sale, something like $380,000. No, that doesn't include any real estate. I don't think this is reflective of the business not doing well at all - on the contrary, I'd suggest that Stage does consistently well.
