Construction at 4th & Bayswater looks nearly complete...

I just heard from a new retailer who will be taking a space in the new Black Swan building, next to the new Starbucks, and it is something very new for the area - maternity!

More photos etc., when it's open, but in the meantime here is the web site:

I took a peek a few days ago, and it's a very lovely store.

Here's a photo from the exterior:

Sal from the Corkscrew Inn emailed me to say:

"Our innkeeper at the Corkscrew Inn is
leaving next spring, and we are actively searching for someone (or couple)
to take over. I thought of your site as we'd really prefer someone familiar
with the neighbourhood, someone who can answer guests' questions."

I don't know the details, but if you're up on the 'hood and looking to do some Innkeeping, have a look at their web site below for info and contacts, and give them a call!

Now Open:
Textura Salon Inc. at 2702 West 4th Ave.
Phone: 778-329-3885

32GO Sushi is now open at 3347 West 4th Ave.
(Former location of Serenity Cafe)

Change:
Winram Insurance is now Axis Insurance

Changing:
Earthrise Garden Store (2954 W. 4th) is closed now for some renovations, reopening soon.

Opening Soon:
2960 West 4th Ave. - Nail Salon possibly? I saw some white tables inside that look like a nail salon... but don't take my word for it until it's open.

As you may have seen on the signage, we are getting a Starbucks at 4th & Bayswater (Black Swan building). I've heard some happy rumblings from people... seems like it's a sign of the area being "on the map."

On the same block, I was delighted to note today that the former site of Abantu Wigs is rented out to the Little White House. Papers are up on the window and renovations are taking place right now. It promises to be a little taste of Paris right here in Kits - YAY! Their web site is:

There have been some other changes as well in the area, and I should be getting some new photos up soon, especially now that the condos at 4th & Bayswater are almost built!

I took some photos earlier this year in the Alma area. I didn't get them finished before I got busy this summer... but I've taken some time this week to put what I have so far online.

There is now a scrollable streetscape for Alma North and Alma South. I've yet to plug in all the business names and addresses, but it's on the way.

There have been a few changes since I took the photos, so I'll be updating those soon too! ENJOY!
