I just drove by Victoria City Motors on Yates and didn't see any cars on the lot. Are they still open there?

Their website shows an address on Douglas Street, have they moved?

It's been a while since I've seen a shipment of cars but then the lot hasn't been completely cleared either. Something must be up.

Remind me? Is this on the same block as the new empty lot?

It's across from London Drugs next to where Bartle and Gibson used to be. Speaking of those lots, I really wished someone would have bought both of them to build something nice instead of that fancy clothing store who bought it.

The British Importers shop looks great, it's the parking lot next to it that sucks.

They did a nice job renovating that building, but something in the 14 story range would be nicer.

I believe the guys that did Corazon tried to buy that lot, but the British Importers beat them!

What?? That is too bad. BI is an eyesore along that block thanks to the ridiculous parking lot.

Welcome stargazer. That's too bad, a Corazon type building with ground floor retail would have been perfect.

Hmm...very interesting.

The brother of the owner of B.I. is a developer so I wouldn't be a bit surprised to learn they've got something planned.
