Openings / Closings Downtown openings, closings and buildings

Posted by Carsten Knox on Thu, Mar 11, 2010 at 4:00 AM

We smell a trend. Joining Boneheads in the southern BBQ restaurant scene is Q Smokehouse & Southern Barbeque (1580 Argyle Street, 407-4006), offering ribs, chicken, brisket, wings, sandwiches---including pulled pork, and even Louisiana po-boys---as well as delectable collection of sides, salads and desserts. Plus, it is licensed. In other resto news, Café Chianti, formerly at 5165 South Street but closed since a fire, is moving into 1241 Barrington Street, recently the home of TwelveFortyOne and Bear. Just a couple of doors down, it looks like Cargo & James has shut down for good. A block away, Morris East (5212 Morris Street, 444-7663) is offering a new Saturday lunch menu, featuring wood-fired skillet eggs, housemade bagels and something delicious-sounding called The Carrot Colada (made with freshly juiced organic carrots, rum and Brazilian coconut water). Oh, and Sensationally Yours has opened at 1870 Albermarle Street, offering gems, beads, jewellery and accessories. The business is reachable by phone at 425-1584. And Hatley in the Granville Mall is having a liquidation sale, they’re closing. In other Barrington Street development news, you may remember Shoptalk broke the news of Starfish Properties’ plans for the former Sam The Record Man and Ginger’s Tavern building. Well, we’ve now heard those plans have recently been approved by the city’s Design Review Committee. And the CD Plus building was purchased by Churchill Steel & Timber, a company that also owns the historic Marble Building, housing Greco/Capt. Sub and Lydon Lynch Architects.

Shitty about Cargo & James, I liked their teas but, admittedly, hadn't been in there for a few months. I walked by the other day planning to check it out again to find out they're "closed until further notice" or something like that, and it appears that they are now gone for good. That building doesn't seem to be too nice to food establishments, so beware new Cafe Chianti! Going to be interesting to see how and if they can recreate the atmosphere of the old location on South Street, which had a lot of that old-world character, in a new building. I kind of miss the old YWCA, too!
