And for whatever reason, wages are always "sticky". They never come back down even when the labour force is plentiful.

Why is Cascadia Bakery closing? I was surprised to see the sign up that they will close September 15th. I probably only spent 20 or 30 bucks a month there but the granola and breakfast options were great and I'm sad to see them closing.

...anyways, Good Butcher's tally is now up to $38k. I have a feeling investments have petered out and may not reach the minimum $50k threshold to release the funds.
Very Good Butcher's kickstarter has achieved and surpassed their $50k goal... currently sitting at $53k with 4 days to go!

Good for them. 
Edit: or perhaps I should say Very Good for them.

Just saw that Haultain Fish and Chips is for sale for around $200,000. Been in business for around 90 years with just two operators. Interesting to see who takes on this classic Victoria institution.

A couple of Chinese restaurants have recently closed.
* Sun Wah (corner of Cook and Pandora) has closed and is apparently being renovated into something else.
* Raymond's (on Blanshard) has closed and will be turned into the Royal India restaurant.

It's pretty low for a turn-key profitable(?) restaurant of any type.

There could be talk of a redevelopment of the building within a medium-range timeframe

Know it all.

What sort of fad is Avalon? Unless restaurants with few customers is now the "in thing".
I agree with Mike. The real future in this space is redevelopment of the entire building. A 2-storey structure in this location won't be around too much longer.

Yeah, I realize that. VV really needs a sarcasm font.
