Yeah, there has been some movement, but they do OK at filling their holes.
Moores was replaced by a jeans place. A Benjamin Moore moved and was replaced by Sherwin Williams.
I recall seeing the new breakfast place but can't remember the name. It is where there used to be an Italian place called Le Four, which had a big wood-burning brick stove in the middle. The father of Canadian Idol winner Eva Avila, Carlos Avila, used to be the entertainer (chansonnier) there some nights. But the place never really took off.
Funny how breakfast-only restaurants seem to be all the rage. There is this one (name?), plus all the Chez Cora locations, plus another one close by on La Gappe called Tutti Frutti that is also breakfast/late breakfast only.
Must be related to an aging population that has more time to go out and eat often on weekday mornings (and not so much energy to go out for dinner at night.)
