Sounds like some pretty questionable activities going on there: breach of the right-of-first-refusal in Tilt's lease, residential tenants being evicted in a manner which appears to contravene the RTA, new owner seeking to demolish building for a use that is not permitted by the zoning, etc.

That is awful news. Tilt is a great spot for drinks and games.

There's a "coming soon" sign featuring pizza and wings in the window of the former Harlem. Looks like Dominos colours, but no branding. All Harlem signage has been removed. Hopefully they improve the exterior brick.

It appears that Rose City (and the related juice and coffee bars) on Adelaide have closed.

That's crappy. I can't imagine Domino utilizing the nice hidden patio either.

SkyBlue sandwiches on King (in G&M Building) has closed - owes ca $30K in rent. (Which may explain why they closed....)

I thought that the Harlem building had been bought by the owners of adjacent building (Golden Thai) so that they could use that space for an entrance to their hoped-for "built-on-top-of" heritage building. If anything is opening I suspect it is not long-term.

I wonder if they have improved their espresso. I gave them three tries and each time received the most unpleasantly acidic espresso I had ever tasted, other than the one I had once at Grano (where I also once had my best espresso in Toronto).

The Beaconsfield at 1154 Queen St W has closed down.
