not so fast
Well, Michael was kind enough to email today to let me know that that rumour is now a reality, and the owner of Richard's has been able to renew the lease on Dick's for 2-3 years. Apparently this means that some more upgrades are coming as well. Hopefully, that doesn't mean that the current set-up, that has the room operating as more of a live venue than a canned music club, will change as well.
At any rate, it's good news for now.

So, when I waltzed into Richard's on Saturday night, the first thing that struck me was the fact that they'd replaced the worn out hardwood with some brand new flooring. I didn't put two and two together and think back to the rumour that I'd heard about the Aquilini Group (who own pretty much the entire block and also our beloved Canucks... for now) opting to hold off on development of the space until after the 2010 Olympics, when they expect construction costs to drop.

hopefully now they will finally go ahead and fix the plumbing, so that it doesn't smell like a septic tank anymore.
Yes, management, please do something to make the women's washroom slightly less hazardous. It would be nice to pee without water dripping on your head.
