Here’s what’s news on Bayview at the end of October

The genial landlord John Badali and his partner have listed the two premises at 1579 and 1581 Bayview Ave. for sale on the MLS for $3,300,000. The present retail tenants, Modella and Tinto Bar de Tapas, are described as excellent.  Upstairs rentals over each store are paid monthly. The stores will  be remembered by many as the former locations of Homefront and The Mad Italian.

WHATEVER LOLA WANTS

Up the street at 1625 Bayview sees the return for a three-month stay of Whatever Lola Wants.  The enterprising Rhonda is stocked and open for the Christmas season. Across the street, the new Bite Me restaurant has opened for business and Tokyo Sushi is closed with a sign on the window from Simon Lee saying the place is temporarily closed for renovations and will re-open.

DOLLY JEWELLERS

Up the street, Dolly Jewellers at 1699 Bayview has a Christmas promotion on getting your sparklies cleaned and polished. Alex and Bev Simmons are ready to tackle all the things you might like to have looking just perfect for the holidays.
