OT: Vacations

This was one of my favourite bars in town before the owner packed up and moved to Mexico....Mindz style

Toronto just became too difficult for his business

good read

Too difficult was just the rent going up?
 
rent went up bigly
plus everything else...and they were not in a spot where they could up their prices enough to make it work

I expect a lot of local restaurants/bars to close in '24 as reality catches up to their dream. Burger/fried chicken/pizza joints will be fine as their margins are pretty sweet

The density of Toronto hides the reality in most of the rest of the province. Non corporate chain places barely exist anymore.

Northwood was excellent. And he's a super nice dude. That's sad. Lived right down the street when it opened.

But that's crazy that the rent is up that high in that location.

I thought the article would dig in a bit more into why Toronto is so bad :)
