Hearing from a fairly credible source that the Biera space will likely be taken over by a well-established brewpub group.

They saw the quality of Ian's recent photos here and quietly canceled their commitment.

No shortage of coffee options around there these days -- Iconoclast, Brio, Coffee Bureau, Farrow, Remedy, Cafe Versailles.

^Would this be that long-vacant two storey brick building just north of the gas station?

It could be worse. I guess I'd rather have councilors who play this wink-wink game with symbolic and deliberately meaningless votes against density than a council that uniformly opposes density.

The pedway system is significantly worse than it was pre-covid, simply because the hours and accessibility are now so wildly inconsistent. Chunks of the system are now routinely locked on weekends or after business hours, at least in my experience.

The UCP actually loves red tape when it comes to industries and people that its activist base dislikes.

I take your wording to mean that the landlord now wants them to occupy an entirely different space in the building?
