Didn't they relocate over by Haultain/Eastdowne? I thought that was the plan.

Oh that's right!  They closed down the one near Oak By Avenue, and the new location has a slightly different name:  Yumbrosia.

Win A Seattle Food & Drink Experience
 Cascadia Launch Party
The wait is over: the doors are open at the new Cascadia Liquor on Quadra Street. What better way to celebrate then a 3-day party? Head down to Quadra Village from April 5th to 7th for 3 days of tastings, grand opening specials, and live music.

There's a BP for non-structural interior strip-out, with a note that a BP for tenant improvements will be applied for separately. The waiting game begins  :muching_out:

I noticed a "SOLD" sign on the empty storefront next to "Spank" on Government yesterday. It's been sitting empty for awhile.

Not exactly retail, but a retail space at Uptown between Flavour and Famous Footwear appears to be becoming an HSBC bank.

An unusual retail concept will be opening in the former Pizza Zone near Cook and North Park.  The store will be called "Canna Can" and, although I don't fully understand the concept, my understanding is that it will be some kind of facility that allows customers to store their cannabis.  The slogan on the building read, "Time Capsule Your Cannabis!"

It's the end of the road for Goodlife Fitness in Vic West.

The closing of Good Life Fitness is unfortunate as it leaves Vic West residents without a commercial exercise facility in their neighbourhood...
