Bison Liquor, I think using Creekside's licence.

Yes. It's been on the Golden Mile site plan for quite a while... along with a massive Bison Liquor (likely using Bonzinni's licence. Nearly double the size of the Sobeys that's under construction at Southland).

New to the plan (since I last looked) are: Freshii; Booster Juice; and Good Earth.

Interesting. Due to the placement and better brand recognition, that may spell the end of The French Press that's a block away.

Ru is now open. The menu is 80%+ the same as Orange Izakaya.. Appetizers, a handful of sushi dishes, bibimbap, and teriyaki noodle bowls. They had a few Poke Bowls I think are unique and also a Korean BBQ Burger that looked pretty delicious.

Hope it succeeds.

Probably. I suspect they just over-played their hand (made worse by choosing the wrong crowdfunding site)... probably felt they had a lot of 'regulars' who had expressed disappointment in the Dodger closing, and an interest in supporting their next venture. Big difference between expressing something, and putting your money where your mouth is. The charitable-handout nature of GoFundMe was a weird choice - there are other crowdfunding options, if they were interested in attracting investors.

I stumbled across an updated site plan for Grasslands in Harbor Landing. In regards to food/coffee establishments, some highlights include:

- Olive Garden
- Starbucks
- Tamarind

Hmm, VERY interesting about Tamarind! While I think I would still rank Caraway Grill as the city's best Indian food (and best restaurant in general), I've been to Tamarind once and it was phenomenal.

Lang's Cafe is burning to the ground this morning. Smoke started pouring out at 6am. Media reports say the brick is crumbing. I don't think there will be anything left.

HomeInMyShoes Apr 4, 2018 3:22 PM

^Yeah, there won't. The news articles said the fire was too intense and the fire crew had to take a defensive control position instead of a put out position.

I asked the company directly. It is currently not on their radar and they will be emailing the Grasslands website to remove them from the map. That's pretty definite for now that it won't be happening.

The space is shown as green on the map behind DSW. Green means available.

I took a peek into the construction underway in Avenue in the former Malt City space. I was surprised to see that they have completely gutted the place. I expect them to go with the open kitchen concept seen in their other restaurants. It looks like they are moving the bar from the south end to the north end. The designer has a strong affinity for the industrial motif, but it is too early to tell if she is going with that.

I really like their work, but I'll be interested in how they use the space. It's a lot more open and traditional than much of their portfolio.

Mostly I'm just happy they're putting money into the space. Malt City failed because they essentially half finished the space and then overcharged to pay for that. Mostly as long as they spend some money on sound attenuation I'll be happy.

aberrant Apr 9, 2018 2:46 AM

I was just gonna say, as long as they spend some money on sound absorption, that space will instantly be a million times better.

I never understood why they didn't install any sound absorbers at Malt City, they had them at Flip.

I installed a pile in my space, they make a tremendous difference. Several designers have asked me how I got such great acoustics in a big room with high ceilings, tons of hard surfaces and an entire wall of windows. Even bands that have played in our room have told me how clear they can hear themselves.

I went to the Little Grouse pop-up dinner in Regina - they didn't give details, but said that people who enjoy the food and interior design of Ayden will feel at home in Avenue.

Bingo. I always felt like I was in a place that hadn't quite been finished. It felt as though they had a design plan... but ran out of money & just decided to toss a few tables and chairs into the space & see what happens.

And the sound. Good lord, the sound. Unless the place was empty, you had to yell to hear people at your table.

The food was OK... a couple decent dishes, but overall nothing to write home about (certainly not for the price they were charging & the atmosphere).

I always found the staff to be solid, though.

(similar small (but annoying) item kept me away from Flip - couldn't leave the place without smelling of it. I'd only go there in the evening, when I knew I could go directly home & change clothes. Complete no-go for a workday lunch. They might have eventually fixed the issue, but I went 3-4 times & never returned)

Bay Leaves is in the Scarth Pedestrian stretch. It seemed to take a while to ramp up, but the last few times I've been there, it's been either steady or pretty much full. Really nice to have an Indian buffet within walking distance at lunch.

Avenue is set to open a week from today. It looks like they will be breaking up the space somewhat:

With such a large space to work with, we were able to incorporate a design with multiple seating areas, creating an experience everyone can enjoy. Whether you like so sit at a more private table, in the center of the restaurant for a view of everything, or amongst the hustle of our bar and kitchen, we’ll have the perfect spot for you!

Regina food trucks not renewing permits as city ups price

I seemed to have noticed a large drop in activity on the plaza this year. Now we know why. The article also seems to hint that customer traffic had declined for some vendors as well so a double-whammy.

This is partially the result of bricks and mortar establishments complaining. They pay a lot of taxes, and have a lot more regulatory burden.

Wascana Park
 
http://leaderpost.com/news/local-new...ss-development

So with the new Conexus building going in they are starting to cut down trees in the park, lots of them, 100 of so. To this point I haven't been too upset about this development but this really pisses me off. A lot of these trees are decades old and it is a total shame to see them cut down. Does anyone know much about translating trees? Maybe it is not feasible with bigger trees but I seem to remember years ago at the U of R they did transplant a fair number of larger poplar and elm trees instead of cutting them down. It pisses me off that the city and or province didn't force Conexus to do this. It might have been costly but even if they saved some of them it would have made a difference.

Eat Healthy Foods
 
Not sure if people remember this spot, it was one of the original organic stores in the city and closed a number of years ago. I was biking by it the other night and it looks like there are some Renos going on in there. Anyone have the scoop on what's going in there?

TerranceB Jun 8, 2018 5:09 AM

Odd thread for a discussion about the Connexus Building, but whatever.

I hope you're not getting your numbers for tree removal from No Business In The Park as they may be massaging those numbers just a bit. It's actually 100 or so trees removed or transplanted. These could also include bushes such as Lilac, Dogwood, etc.

Part of the work being done is also the realignment of the Lorne St entrance to Wascana, which has been a cockeyed, offset, tight corner and has been listed in the Wascana Park Master Plan for years for redo and so some trees would have been lost in eventuality anyway.

one_brick_at_a_time Jun 8, 2018 7:53 PM

I was walking downtown and a couple spots came to mind that would be perfect for some more restaurants. I find that there are some holes in downtown regarding connection between businesses to help in the pub/restaurant crawl or wander between that needs to be filled in.

The vacant Conexus building main floor spot would be perfect for a restaurant with outside patio. This would then connect a further north restaurant to the Capitol, and Vic's Tavern and to Famoso, Fat Badger and 20Ten.

Across the street at the Alvin Hamilton building (not sure what they are currently doing inside) but the lobby/high ceiling area would be perfect for another restaurant/bar.

https://i.imgur.com/g1YcKhQ.jpg

Also wish the Royal Bank Tower would lease the Hamilton street side of the main floor lobby to a restaurant to give some life to that corner of the building and street.
