Scholar’s Choice final days, and a castle revealed on Bayview

In today’s neighbourhood gallery we start with Spirit Halloween, opening soon at the south-east corner of Laird Drive and Eglinton Ave East, the former home of Pier 1 Imports. Signs say they’re hiring, visit work4spirit.com to apply. Then we head on over to Bayview where Indian Street Food has a very charming patio set up, complete with thatch umbrellas. Scholar’s Choice closing sale is coming to an end in a few days. Store fixtures are up for grabs too. They will be missed. Original’s Ale House at 1660 Bayview has re-opened! Patrons enjoyed the brunch menu on their patio this weekend. On Bayview since 1983, we’re happy to see their doors open again. And finally, the dark hoarding has been removed from Havana Castle Cigars, revealing, you guessed it — a castle. Very clever. They’re opening soon at 1563 Bayview Ave (formerly Carreira Casuals). Note that Norman Tailors next door is selling homemade masks. Stay safe everyone, and see you on Bayview!
