Apparently Brampton has been a buzzin' in the ten weeks I've been gone. So here's a rundown of what I've missed:
All-ages friendly venue and seedy strip club, The Sword and Shield, shut down. Check out TorStar's take here
Musician, actor and all-around good-guy Darcy McMann abruptly moves out of his Nelson St. apartment in favour of greener pastures.
The City of Brampton thinks a large hotel - think Hyatt, Crowne Plaza, The Fairmont, etc. - will help revitalize the downtown core and has hired a consultant to create a prospectus. The Guardian has the story.
West Nile is BACK!
Pearson is making noise again. Seems the trial flight path isn't exactly working out.
The Brampton Junior Golf Tour has been a resounding success.
What's happening now:
Community in Blooms goes down this week.
Two newish venues, Trilogy Concert Club(formerly Hooterville) and West 7(formerly Nashville North), are open for rock shows. No word yet, however, if they are open to having local indie bands play.
Ambush The Night seems to be working again.
Stabbings, shootings and Hogweeds sadly dominate the paper.
So, if I've missed anything simply let me know. I enjoy reading comments, especially YOUR comments.
Talk to you in a bit.
