Hello,

I am a community advocate against CashMax. I enjoy our rich community heritage, however the very thought of a payday loan location in our area really upset me. The area is under alot of pressure from the construction. I have watched numerous merchants shut their doors and new ones opening. I feel that they deserve the right merchant environment and should not contend with having this eyesore of a business open.

Please support the “against” CashMax. By not using their services. As it stands they still charge 21% per $100 dollars loan. That is difficult to understand and very predatory.

The Smarties commercial featuring Sly’s hit tune ‘Everyday People’ was partially shot just north of the Revue on Hewitt Ave. Look at the house behind the blonde lady guitarist, should be about #93.

Have no fear, Cherry Bomb has not disappeared. They are just moving two or three doors north of their original location on Roncesvalles Avenue. They are currently closed for renovations.

Now, I have heard on the street they are moving for one of two reasons. The first is that they just need more room. The second—and this is just a rumour—their old landlord decided to open up a coffee shop in the original space due to Cherry Bomb’s amazing success. Creepy if true! Maybe someone can clarify.

Starbucks will be good for the hood, though I’m not a fan of the coffee. The traditional places should be appreciated. But where (oh where) did Cherry Bomb go? The MOST DIVINE coffee. Charming, sharp service, even decadent chocolate gluten-free cookies I could eat by the half dozen. Sunny, seventies’ wallpaper, and nice music. Where did it go?

It’s about time. Congratulations to the new owners, and we appreciate your sense of community and history. You have my thanks, and a promise to continue patronage.

Finally! I think… we’ll be moving in July 4th, 2007. More than 5 years after signing the initial purchase agreement.

Yes it was a shock to lose the Revue Cinema marquee. Such nostalgia.
But I’m just letting you know not to worry as we are well on our
way to re-activating the beautiful Revue Cinema. We *will* be seeing
films there again!
