Ahhh. Another sad case of a business failing because of "LRT construction". The two-phase King Street reconstruction project was not related to ION whatsoever (started construction right after ION, yes). Either way, the idea of businesses in Uptown absolutely needing external visitors to survive is pretty flawed. None of these sad stories would even happen if more people lived within Uptown and supported these businesses, you know, like in most downtowns. People who fight density are the people that are the saddest when they see businesses like this one go, but they don't want more people to live closer to the businesses in the first place. Ironic.
