Downtown Comings and Goings. 10/14/11.

I started to write this up a couple of days ago, since the Downtowners were trumpeting the low vacancy rate.

Anyway, I realized that I couldn't visualize where these places were, exactly, so Linda and I went looking for them.

Gypsy Soul ("women’s fashion and gypsy home furnishings") is on Wall St., next to Pizza Mondo, where the t-shirt shop used to be. Lotus Moon ("sustainable gifts, clothes and jewelry") is on Brooks St., where Wabi Sabi used to be.

The Lobby is where the Bond Street Market was before it moved. A wifi cafe. Above it, I guess, is going to be an "all-ages" dance club, Andre's Dance Club.

Ruby, a "chic lounge and bar" on Minnesota St.

Colour N' the City, has opened in Tin Pan Alley. "Furniture and decor."

It seems firm that Jackalope Grill is coming to Putnam Pointe.



Meanwhile, Bourbon St. is closed, though it may be reopened under a new name and theme.



Overall, a pretty impressive showing...
