South Bayview’s north block has renewal and challenges

South Bayview’s north block (north of Manor and Fleming) features numerous dynamic businesses that provide stability for business generally. Dolly Jewellers, the Academy of Culinary Arts, Parallele Interiors and the enormously busy Nail Studio next to Leo’s Barber Shop, all are great assets. We’re cheering for Never Grow Up as well. But there are changes. The north block continues to show us renewal and challenges. Upper left is the new sign for Amaya’s new eatery, yet to open, called Indian Street Food Co. Many are excited about that. Down at Manor Road and Bayview work continues on the new West Coast Kids space. This large four-store space previously was leased by Moms-to-be-and-more. It is really good news that Karen Becker, long-time owner of Moms, will be the manger at the new West Coast location. As expected, the Stop and Shop Pop-Up store will soon move out and the Mode Suzan space remains vacant, We miss it. The Brick is looking to move as well. They have not had much interest in the street since Sleep Country moved out down the street.
