Kind of...there was a split between business partners, and one side had a better contingency plan involving a relative with a solid restaurant pedigree.

Yeah that that bank+parking lot is crying out for more. They used to have a little farmers market every now and then but it's been ages so I don't know if it's still happening. I think more than anything that the city should look into the possibility of upzoning some houses along 112ave to include restaurant and retail uses (ala 'Chickies'). Think about going to a culina's calibre restaurant in a little old bungalow and eating in a backyard surrounded by a picket fence...a higher-end kensington market but with the highland's down to earth appeal.
