Axes are flying everywhere; I started off the week learning that Timber Lounge would be opening an Axe throwing bar at the corner of Agricola and May. Timber will have beer and food and $30 for 90min. Then late this week we find out the axe throwing chain Bad Axe is opening on McQuaid Lake Cres in Bayers Lake, but they will not have a food or bar and they will be $45 a session. I guess this is the new froyo.

Meanwhile over in the Hydrostone, Waffle Love will be serving us waffle goodness in a couple of weeks, Batter be prepared.

The former M&M’s Meats on Hwy 7 is now a gym. It’s a new location of 30 Minute Hit.

WalMart is installing a 5¢ plastic bag fee,  nationwide (starting in BC); It didn’t go so well for Loblaws a few years ago when they tried, Maritimers revolted (where we call all plastic bags Sobeys bags). This is common practice in most retailers QC west, and recently a 5p charge is now law in the UK.
