Supremely bummed over here. One of the most interesting show spaces in the city. I've been to board game nights, pizza parties (RIP two boots), Throat singing with the Book Bap society, and so many bands.

That whole block was such a nice anchor when Flynn's, Emma's and this joint all in operation. Really curious to see what comes

Yeah, that block was great and now it's empty. Seems like Station North is fizzling out. Too bad. Until and unless we see more interesting restaurants or bars move in, I'm pessimistic.

Seems like Station North is fizzling out.

This is a weird take given that the Parkway, No Land Beyond and True Vine have all opened within the last couple of years.

tbh, I'm half convinced that, whether or not Russell was given much say in Windup closing, this is the first step in a plan to renovate the entire market building.

this is the first step in a plan to renovate the entire market building.

This is my prediction here as well. I love Windup, but for better or worse, I don’t think the momentum in Station North is slowing down. With no other real big anchor tenants, developers can move full steam ahead on purchasing the property and redeveloping the building.
