2016 The Year That Was




A small update and then a year in review

The former Aleppo Cafe in the Brewery Market will be coming back to life on Quinpool as 7 Peppers Grill (where Shawarmas Stop was)

Susie’s Shortbreads closed their Purdy’s Wharf location. Bayers Lake will remain open

New comics, cards and sports memorabilia store Robie @ Young called AMG Collectibles?

Looks like the former Ceilidh’s Pub will come back to life as Thirsty Turtle Bar & Grill

Glow Parties has now moved from Strawberry Hill across the Harbour to their new “Event Store” on Windmill @ Princess Margaret under the new bridge

?Halifax Transit is moving the Lost & Found from the Burnside garage to a kiosk in the Bridge Terminal

Aunties’ Dispensary who had started selling marijuana without prescription to anyone was raided on Friday, 4 arrests were made trafficking charges.

and KFC is just using a random word generator for ideas now

 

and now a listing of the opens and closes of 2016, I separated them into five zones, 177 opens to 103 closes, there were a few that fell in both open and close.
