Too bad because that *was* probably the finest treed and licensed boulevard cafe in the city.
The render only shows the northern half where some staff parking was located, are there perhaps plans for the part nearer to the corner?
With new owners, perhaps the plan is to reclaim the currently rented corner retail space and create a modernist glass addition on the south end or something like that. This Hamilton institution hides behind that space, keeping it from projecting a presence commensurate with its local significance.
Okay, that's just what I'd do.
Actually what I would do is keep the trees, but with them now gone a corner addition would at least fix the invisibility problem.
