The Ten Spot Beauty Bar at 1657 Bayview Ave. intends to live up to the “bar” part of its name as it applies for a liquor license. If approved, and the owners say several Toronto locations of Ten Spot have been licensed already, the Bayview nail and pedicure storefront will serve wine and beer. It may also serve more. The manager says the intention is to offer wine with routine services and to provide an attractive extra for women who want to organize private evenings at the bar. This seems like a newer concept and departs from former standards of the LCBO where an entrepreneur had to be primarily in the eating and/or drinking business. The conditions set by the government regarding minors, hours of operation and the keeping of a kitchen, for example, all seem problematic. But presumably operators of other Ten Spots already know the drill. Ten Spot is a Canadian chain with locations in B.C. PEI and Ontario.

The former home of Pronto and Lai Toh Heen restaurants at 692 Mt. Pleasant Rd. at Soudan Ave. is undergoing some renovations, apparently to make it easier to lease. Sources indicate that a second-floor mezzanine will be filled in to create a complete second floor, suitable maybe as an apartment. The long-time restaurant space below has been empty for several years impacted by the business decline that began earlier. Lai Toh Heen closed in 2011. Former home of Lai Toh Heen on Mt.

No doubt she will not wish anyone to take it personally, but the Premier was talking like the activist she claims to be when she told the Niagara Chamber of Commerce Tuesday that her fellow citizens are “very bad actors” when it comes to creating greenhouse gases. CBC

Sophie Gregoire Trudeau will open the trading day at the Toronto Stock Exchange on Tuesday to mark International Day of the Girl. She will represent three charities. They are G(irls)20 (cute name) Plan International Canada and FitSpirit.  Politics aside, it would surely be a Canadian quality to wish for young women to participate, excel and to lead.
