Has anyone been following Stephen Becta's search for a new restaurant space? He is offering a $1000 gift certificate to anyone who can find one. He is looking at Elgin and Glebe as location sites.

Yeah saw that last week - too bad he has not found anything yet. Wish I had the inside track on something :-(

I have the inside track on one place which does not meet his geographic needs... oh well!

4000 sq ft in the Glebe is a pretty big ask - properties that size don't come up very often. But I hope he finds one!

Here it is..... Gezellig in Westboro. (Funny, this news has been out for a few days now. and nothing on OF till now):

What triggered me to post this ? ... well ... I saw about 12 people lined up at Beckta's new location, at 7am this morning. What ? , Beckta is hiring now ? and people want the on average $20-tip-per-person-serving-jobs, so bad, they will line up overnight for them.

It turns out that the location (the old TD Bank Westboro Branch) is currently Domicile's (a property developer) sales centre, for a project way across town in Beechwood ... The Kavanaugh

Mystery solved here:

... and it involves a free BBQ worth $2800 !
