Atelier - WOW is it ugly! [Food/Vendor]
2009 Apr 30
Monty - Hold on tight to that popper, otherwise you might lose it to the guys over at Atelier as I hear they like to play with different ways of preparing food.
Marc Lepine - Love a man with a sense of humour... and especially one who can laugh at his own jokes.

Could you have found a worse picture?

nothing a fresh coat of paint on the building and polish on the window grates couldn't fix ;)
the underground neighbourhood beautification team has your building in it's sights. sadly, we first have to tackle the duck-tape siding on the house behind you.
jokes aside, the neighbourhood has come a very long way. it went from a lovely, well-kept area decades ago, to a transient down-at-the heels kind of place. in the past 6 years it has slowly be coming back together. not gentrification (phew), but we have worked hard to move out the drug dealers (who used to deal in front of my house at all hours of the day and night), and slum lords, who left piles of garbage at the side of the road for weeks on end.
it is a wonderful neighbourhood to live in and the little italy community is growing with the new generation of buyers. with all the changes coming to preston street it will only get better.
there is nothing we like more than new businesses that take the time to integrate themselves with the locals in the area. if you ever need to know what is happening, just stop into lorenzo's for the gossip and great pizza.

You guys are killing me! However I passed by 1000 Island Sushi last weekend for the first time. (I haven't been down Carling in awhile...) This restaurant has been getting good reviews on this site but I wasn't prepared for the gawdawful paint job on the exterior of the building. It could be competition for the ugliest exterior-;)

Well, it seems I'll be the first (here) to say it...I really *really* like the minimalist exterior. And the paint IS fresh. Love it!
Though a question DID come up. I passed by for the first time this morning, cycling with a couple friends.
Me: "Heh! There it is! Atelier!"
Friend: "How do you know that's it?"
Me: "You just have to know."
