• Tosto Quickfire Pizza Pasta, a new Italian fast food concept, is coming to 800 Bay St.

CLOSING

• The Corkscrew on College has closed which is no surprise considering that corner lot at 596 College St. at Clinton might be best known for its rapid restaurant turnover.


• The Greek at 567 King St. West looks to be no more - the windows are papered over and show no signs of life.
