Not sure, but I believe it could be new folks.

Die Pie announced they're closing on December 22.

That's a real shame that is.

They had good food for those of us who are omnivores, but more importantly provided variety and options to those with more particular dietary requirements and have a great spot over on 97st.

They should never have left Jasper Ave in the first place. Moving to the 97 St ghost town was a big mistake.

I am not sure, someone needs to make that initial move to 97 Street in order to attract other businesses.

It's going to take a lot more than just a vegan eatery to attract businesses to 97 St. The downtown farmer's market may help but it's not enough.

All it takes is one. While I think they could have made it under 'normal circumstances', unfortunately, the pandemic was the slice to the jugular.

to be fair, jasper avenue hasn't fared a whole let better when it comes to restaurants and food vendors.

Hallsy's Toupee · #**6572** Posted **Dec 21, 2020, 11:30 PM**

I dunno, personally I find the Jasper Ave foot traffic to be better than what's been found on 97 St despite this past year's construction and the pandemic.

maybe... but you wouldn't know it from the number of closed establishments you're walking by.

Hallsy's Toupee · #**6574** Posted **Dec 22, 2020, 3:09 AM**

Closed temporarily due to COVID lockdown? or closed for good?

Exactly, open something people want to visit and the masses follow, slowly but surely.

Say it ain't so!

'Garneau Pub, home of Combat Juice, is now closed.'

Noticed Amper& had paper over the windows. Did I miss the announcement of its closing.

Coldrsx · #**6578** Posted **Dec 22, 2020, 5:04 PM**

Unsure for some places are putting paper over for the duration to limit crimes of opportunity or the like.

I don't believe it's closed. Still taking online orders according to their website.

The Vietnamese place on RHW is now a generic burger/fries place
