The LCBO will open an outlet at 1524 Bayview Ave at Millwood Road in the premises formerly occupied by Blockbuster Video before it went bankrupt. Several sources on the site have confirmed the arrival of the liquor store. Renovations are underway even as the old Blockbuster sign remains outside on the long vacant store, which is beside epi breads. It will hardly need saying to anyone with business to do on South Bayview, merchant or shopper, that the arrival of an LCBO is long overdue for the many neighborhoods that look to this street as a preferred shopping destination. The Blockbuster, which has been vacant now for more than 18 months is an ideally-sized space for the liquor outlet. We note the coincidence that 1524 Bayview is slap up against the west border of the provincial riding of Don Valley West whose member if the premier herself.
