A magical revelation has occurred in recent days in the north block of the Bayview business district. Signage for Paws and Claws has been removed after the store closed to reveal the forgotten home of The Bayview Bicycle Co. Now Leaside and Bayview area residents are searching to find a trace of this business. The telephone number seems to end in 0344.
The sidewalks are going in at The Stack on Bayview Ave. The residential commercial development is also known as 730 Hillsdale. As seen below, there will be a number of attractive retail spaces on the ground level. So far there hasn’t been a whisper about what businesses might move in there.
The Bayview Leaside BIA will be handing out free reusable shopping bags Sunday, August 8 at locations along the street. Check their Instagram site for exact locations.
The construction hoarding surrounding The Brown Group’s new mid-rise development has been removed, revealing the commercial space on the main floor of the luxury, residential rental building. Looks like the wall of windows will create a bright, open space for future shops or restaurants. Known previously as simply 730 Hillsdale, the building has been renamed “The Stack”. More
The Brown Group residential and commercial mid-rise on Bayview Ave has been branded as The Stack. The news comes in an article in Urban Toronto without an explanation of just what the name might mean. The development took on the name 730 Hillsdale last summer but that may have been too much like a street address. Anyway, good luck to The Stack. Is that like in “Stack ’em up boys” and other stack sayings? You know, blowing one’s stack, does that stack up and so on.
We love it when old store names reappear from behind decades of other business signs. So here’s the almost-forgotten sign for Broadloom Consultants at 1727 Bayview Ave. The sign has been revealed as Mobility for Life moved out. Note that the phone, 483-2425, needed no area code. The new tenant will be a business called Relevé. It’s “Elevated Active and Lounge Wear”. releveclothing.com
This popular and historic street has seen “leased” signs go up at 1727 in the north block and 1581 in the south block. For those who can remember back a decade, 1581 once housed the Mad Italian. As you can see in the photo, Craig’s Cookies will be opening soon!
The grand opening of Egg Bird is underway at 1595 Bayview today. Chef Hemant Bhagwani is behind the new brunch spot. It features globally-inspired fried chicken, egg burgers, and hand-cut Belgian fries, and is available for takeout or delivery direct from the restaurant or through Uber Eats. Also today, Darna (1613 Bayview) has unveiled their new patio space! Bon appétit!
Businesses are slowly re-opening this week across South Bayview. On Bayview Ave. Thursday there was a variety of cautionary requirements in place. At Ron White Shoes you must ring the bell to be allowed in. Many shops are supplying mandatory masks. At Rahier they say it is still unclear when the pretty patio will re-open but it is now possible to enter the shop. Eggstatic is opening its patio Friday. The only lineup consisted of two people outside Starbucks. On a busy day, that will probably change. It’s nice to see so many doors open again.
