Good news!
Toronto’s Revue Cinema reaches new lease agreement after tensions with landlords threatened closing
The news comes after a tumultuous summer for the Revue, when the building owners announced they wanted to take over the business from the cinema’s boardwww.theglobeandmail.com
Key points from the article:
- New 5-year lease
- Rent increased from $10,000 per month to $15,000 per month (this is quite reasonable in light of 1.3M in annual revenues for the Cinema.)
- Revue (the film society) will donate ad time to St. Joe's Hospital (on screen etc.) worth $62,000 and host one annual fundraising event for the hospital. (requested by the building owners)
- Work to restore the original heritage facade should begin by the end of 2024.
- Former Mayor John Tory was key to mediating a deal w/between the building owner and the film society running the Revue.

Toronto even lost German "presence" when Otto's Bierhalle said auf Wiedersehen at Queen & Dovercourt over a year ago.

Yes but another one popped up at Waterworks!

Yeah, that was a cool place, but marginally "German" I'd say...Toronto even lost German "presence" when Otto's Bierhalle said auf Wiedersehen at Queen & Dovercourt over a year ago.

Indeed, and I ate there recently! The worker lamented the loss of the Bierhalle though. The location in Kensington is also looking rather rough these days with lots of grime - I predict it'll close in a year. Must be frustrating operating next door to a shelter...

Scaffolding is gone, though I assume more work will be done.

So there's no plan to do that?
To me it doesn't look much different now than it has since the marquee fell off in 2007.
Edit: A notice taped onto their door said that the recent work involved cleaning and repairs of the facade and sign, and will "not include a full restoration of the 1912 marquee".

Again I have failed to find any info on 2148 Dundas West as there is obviously something going on. I need a YouTube tutorial! Any one know?

There are lots of permits visible in your photo. City Building Permit status site shows conversion to residential.
