A Friday walkabout brings some Bayview updates to your news feed.
Up at the north end we start our walkabout checking out the large hoarding that surrounds 1709 Bayview Ave. The permit says they are doing a “2-storey rear addition, and interior alterations to convert commercial/residential to commercial only – medical office (Optomotrist)”.
The storefront on the south side of the hoarding has been leased. Yay! Plus, the windows of the shop that was formerly The Academy of Culinary Arts has been neatly papered over indicating that may have been leased as well. Looks like we will have some new businesses to welcome soon.
The much anticipated restaurant named Ramona’s Kitchen (1608 Bayview Ave) has a fancy new custom door. Does this mean they will open soon? We hope so!
Moving south, The Sign of the Skier has opened their popular pop-up shop at 1541B Bayview Ave. Catch their blowout sale from now until Easter.
April 1st is Doughnation Day at Cobs Bread (1539 Bayview Ave). $2 from every 6-pack of Hot Cross Buns will go towards helping a local community charity. Steps away from Cobs, in front of 1541B is a curious display encouraging businesses to “rent-a-bench”.
Tzatz (1609 Bayview Ave.) is embracing the beginning of spring with sale items displayed out on the sidewalk. Buono Ristorante (formerly known as Verdi, 1566 Bayview Ave.) have removed the structure that sheltered their patio in cooler weather. Another sign that warmer weather is in our future, and patios will open soon.
