Changes and Windows

Changes

It seems like Spadina and College is going through a lot of changes.  There are building permits posted everywhere.  Gentrification is happening fast and most projects will be done by summer 2013.
         Some of the changes that have occurred :
- El Macombo changed new owners and they re-invested in making the place look nicer.
-I think a giant Shoppers is going in the corner.
-There were even protests against a Loblaws building their 20,000 square foot on the second floor last week!

-New condos are building built left and right.

I'm just happy that Castle is also going to be a part of all this change too.

Windows
          On another note, someone threw a brick at our storefront.  It totally sucks when stuff like this happens but I think you can always turn a bad situation into an opportunity if you look hard enough.   We took this opportunity to rebuild the store front.  We moved the store front closer to the street.  We also moved the entrance to the other side and installed double doors.  The windows are now twice as thick  and everything looks so much prettier than what it was before.  I feel like the lil indie entrepreur that could.  I just pray that El Macombo doesn't leave their truck of bricks in front of our store again, it's just asking for trouble.

 I will update the before and after pictures later this month.
