Comings and goings observed on South Bayview in May

A stroll down our favourite street has revealed changes to some well known businesses. Peering through the glass, we could see the demolition of the interior space that was formerly home to Scholar’s Choice and Butter Studio. The refurbished space will make way for a “new restaurant” with a patio, according to a building permit application. Strolling south, we observed a new banner that is covering up the sign for the Bombay Snack Bar. They are now known as Charcoal Biryani at 1595 Bayview Ave. Parpar clothing is still preparing their store, with plans to open in the former location of Express Travel at 1569 Bayview Ave. Since patio season has officially begun, tables, chairs, potted plants and smiling faces are starting to fill our sidewalks. We think the electric blue patio set at La Diperie is rather eye-catching! This will be their first summer at 1559 Bayview Ave. Welcome to Bayview, Supermart and Petals (1635 Bayview Ave.) your beautiful flowers are a feast for the eyes!

Construction continues in the base of the new residential building known as The Stack, 730 Hillsdale Avenue East at Bayview. Maker Pizza and The Sweet Potato (grocery store) will be opening later in 2022.

See you on Bayview!
