Thai Ivory on Quinpool has “closed for renovations” but a couple of years ago the Dartmouth one “closed for renovations” and never reopened. There does not appear to be any activity inside so, we will put this on the watchlist.

Schnitzel is coming to Downtown Dartmouth, a sign popped on King St (between Queen/Ochterloney) this week. Though I’m concerned they don’t think people know what schnitzel is.

The Airport Burger King has closed, there is going to be a renovation of the whole pre-security departures area, and new vendors will be coming in, and others may leave. I hear there may be some new food services coming upstairs as well.

Signage is up on the Park Lane Dollarama, no idea of open date but it’s being built quickly.

Cucina Moderna who had announced their City Centre store off Spring Garden was closing, announced that Mic Mac was closing as well when both stores closed for good.
