Can't be easy to make it work with high rents here... and given the $1 competition at 2 Bros...
Anyway, change is certainly coming to the corner... You have the Theatre Condos upstairs.... with the new gaming shop upstairs... Work is under way on the former Andy's Chee Pees location... A worker on the scene said it would be "another store." Hmmm....

It opened in 88? or 98?
It was 1988, anon.
I remember when it was the Naked Grape...
I remember the uproar when the Gap took out St. Mark's Cinema. Two bucks for a double feature, you could smoke in the theater, and very often the audience was more fun to watch than what was on the screen.
So we're getting a "store"? What, is an HSBC/Chase/Valley National/TD branch gonna be selling t-shirts and temporary tattoos?
I didn't want to believe it the day they announced a Gap where no Gap could or should be. I laughed the day I walked by after they opened and noticed that all the clothes in the display windows was black. Yeah, that'll work, and I did a little happy dance the day I walked by and the paper was covering the windows.
So sad, loved this place :( Another one bites the dust...
