Yes, they aren't going into Scarth St.

So, there may be something to the rumour I heard? Last time I walked by the old WoT, there appeared to be construction materials inside, but no one working at the time. Anyone hear if O'Hanlon is still hoping to open something there?

Also? GoFundMe for Artful Dodger? Really? If you're looking for donations to your for-profit business, the only way I'm tossing money your way is if I get a proportional ownership stake. If they were a non-profit, it's a different story (though, I still think the request is a long-shot).

I haven't really seen any work at the WoT building fro the last couple months, so maybe? It's all a bit odd.

Any truth to the rumor I heard that Olive Garden is coming to Harbor Landing in the building attached to DSW where Brown's Socialhouse was listed for a while?

I heard from a reliable source it is a done deal.

Cool. That part of the building didn't have its flooring poured yet as of the Fall but after that gets done it should be a fairly quick handover. Solid win for H.L. area, which hasn't had a lot of big name places move in despite lots of new commercial spaces..

Olive Garden is apparently going in Grasslands but they'll be building a standalone site. The Brown's space is about half the size they need.

Yay! We finally have a nearly mediocre pasta place in Regina!

I wondered... Brown’s space is pretty small.

Would fit a pub (e.g.: a big Leo’s), but is smaller than I’d expect for most full-service restaurants.

The new place in the former Flip on Hamilton will be called Soju Bar and Lounge.

I know why you might say that, but everything I've heard is they're looking to expand.

I've been there a few times and didn't mind it (though I thought it was a little expensive for being what is effectively a re-themed Burger King), but I've also heard they've had a few health and safety issues (under-cooked chicken that has caused food poisoning more than once) that would have spread via word of mouth.

Two issues in July, addressed in August follow-up.

Tony Roma's and The Nest. Somebody will probably come along and develop the site into another small commercial development.

Oooh! Maybe someone can develop a big, long gas bar and car wash along that side of Albert too.
