East Coast Bakery on Quinpool is now open, and serving up Montreal style bagels.



The Needs on Queen St closed, part of a master plan. The building will come down and the NSLC will be building a self-contained store in that spot. The NSLC in the Sobeys will close and Sobeys will renovate their front end. As well Sobeys is building a Fast Fuel across the street and that will have a new Needs.
