I just found out Schmooze ( which was a crazy early hotspot on fridays for women ) and now Sassafraz have both burned down. I had no idea.

I wonder if Sassafraz will rebuild or not. Prime location for a new landmark restaurant?

I've heard rumours that Libeskind will be designing a new nightclub/restaurant/retail facility, three storeys tall, on that land.

 

[bizorky]

^Did he arrange the fire?

 

[ahsun]

I would seriously be shocked if Sassafras didn't get rebuilt. Why wouldn't they? It's so recognized and used by the Hollywood elite and surely insurance would cover a large portion.

ahsun:

Yeah, rebuilt in the form of a ground level cafe for a condominium.

AoD

 

[bizorky]

^Yes, of course! Sassafraz Tower!

By Libeskind, no doubt.

It'll be yellow.

I used to fantasize about firebombing Sassafraz when I had my lunches in Yorkville Park, back in the days when I worked at Club Monaco/Banana Republic. I would just stare at the place while I ate. All those shiny cars and rich mens' bought women. I felt like the character in Mordecai Richler's St. Urban's Horseman, Harry Stein, who would always stand, seething, in the rain at the end of the bus queue.

Maybe you should re-image yourself into Duddy Kravitz and try to get some of their money for land in the Muskokas.

 

[spmarshall]

Of course Duddy Kravitz started making his fortune by re-selling streetcar transfers. Fiendish, the defender of all things TTC, would frown upon such criminal activity.

 

[Mike in TO]

So you fantasize about puching people in the subways if you dislike them as well as firebombing restaurants with people that you dislike?

 

[fiendishlibrarian]

Absolutely.

 

[fiendishlibrarian]

I also fantasize about many of the girls I help at school.

And this one cute student who works with me at UTSC.

And the twin sisters who work the checkout desk.

And my ex.

And this barmaid at my local.

And so on.

So yeah. Point being?

 

[bizorky]

Did someone say twins?

 

[ahsun]

We could call it the Towering Inferno.

I once left an event at work and when my manager asked me what I had learned, I said "I am not able to make someone's head explode just by concentrating only on that for long periods of time".
