I think there was an article in the Record a few months back saying that entire building was up for renovations. The bar was moving out, no more tenants in the apartments upstairs. Anyone else remembers this?

There was a Record article about the upper floors of that section of the building being converted into offices, but it was pretty vague about what would happen on the ground floor. I don't recall anything about the bar being closed. The Cash Store corner would make a good retail space or coffee shop, I would think.

I think there was some news of that particular chain of cash stores going under. They were closing multiple stores in Ontario.
I believe this is unrelated to the proposed changes to the building.

The new Beer Store at King and Francis Sts has been stocked up, so should be open any day now.

And the Record is reporting that the new Beer Store will open tomorrow, Saturday. I wonder, if I get there early enough, will they be giving away free beer?

Yes, according to this sign:
Some downtown shuffling happening soon. Games Exchange, currently in the 2 story plaza at Charles and Queen will be moving to candy candy candy's spot on the corner of Queen and Charles while candy will be moving over to Ontario st beside adventures guild cafe

I was just about to post that! I think the new location will be better for candy, candy (more foot traffic). Little Mushroom has moved out of the space that they will be taking and gone to somewhere in Waterloo. I'd love to see the building that Games Exchange is currently in come down - it's such a blight.
I also noticed today that Entertaining Elements is closed - no sign in the window about whether it's temporary, holiday, permanent or what.

The whole half block behind St Matthews could be beautifully redeveloped (everything bounded by Charles, Queen and Church, except for the old house on the corner of Queen and Church).

Candy, Candy, Candy has now moved over to 32 Ontario St N.

I emailed Revel months ago for an update on the project but never received a response.
