Dreamliner is the greatest name ever.

Reading my Ciao! magazine today, I noticed a blurb about two of my favourite restaurants from the city's core moving to St. Vital: La Fiesta Cefecito has left their Sargent home for St. Anne's Road, and Lao Thai has moved from Selkirk to St. Annes as well. To me, part of the charm of those restaurants was their location in melting pot neighbourhoods. Won't be the same in St. Vital.

The core is a great restaurant incubator.

Lao Thai is right where St. Annes starts (across from Global News) in a former house with a storefront.

La Fiesta is way down in the 'burbs by the entrance to Royalwood and River Park South. Diannes Gourmet Pizza (voted #1 in canada a few yrs back) has moved from St. Mary's to St Annes beside La Fiesta. Weird strip mall location for 2 restaurants like that.

Artis REIT leases another floor in the Grain Exchange. No surprise, though, it's government.

Quote:

Artis also confirmed today that it has entered into an unconditional
agreement to lease an additional full floor of the Grain Exchange Building (in
Winnipeg, Manitoba) to Public Works and Government Services Canada. The
agreement is for 25,363 square feet of currently unoccupied space
(representing 0.4% of the REIT's total rentable area) commencing May 1, 2008,
at competitive rental rates.

Wonder if it's going to be on the 3rd floor. They were having some air quality problems on 3 in the past couple of years. Those in Agriculture Canada are now on the 7th.

But it is quite possible and likely that these problems have since been fixed/repaired, and 3 is OK again.

Is there a restaurant is the Grain Exchange building?

fengshui · #**408** Posted **Feb 2, 2008, 1:13 AM**

No, I don't think so.
Also, in the neighbourhood, 171 McDermot, formerly Pockets/Coyote Cafe is available turnkey to rent for $10,000/month, and Liberty Grill at 177 Lombard is on the market for $6,500/month.

Wow.. the Liberty Grill, a popular power lunch locale for the P&M crowd.

Anyone know why Hydro's getting into the telecom business?

1ajs · #**418** Posted **Feb 4, 2008, 8:29 PM**

becuse they have their own data coridors to the dams and on the side they sell unused bandwidth... and also one can also transmit data threw the high voltage power lines...

h0twired · #**419** Posted **Feb 4, 2008, 11:36 PM**

ENMAX in Calgary is in the data business. They have a HUGE fibre optic network and use MCI for peering to the internet.

If Ontario's slew of money wasting hydro companies did this it would really help development and living conditions in the north.
