Khatmandu Ma in North Newtown doesn't seem to be open. Or at least the shutters have been down everytime I've gone past recently. Also in that neck of the woods the Cold Rock Ice creamery has closed, which isn't surprising. Joshua & Sean is closing, the clothes weren't anything special and one of the sales women was incredibly rude so I won't miss them :)

There are lots of shelves going up in the old Mitre 10, doesn't look like a supermarket so here's hoping it isn't a giant $2 shop.

Back up my way in Enmore there is a DA for a small bar where the old CPS opshop was. Or at least it was on the council website, haven't seen it on the shop front. And a gallery cafe is opening near the bustop opposite Enmore post office.

Was in newtown last week after a while, interesting to see the little changes

rose sunrise bakery's been moved out of the king street location (along with rainbow chemist) not sure if its related to the station upgrade or just opportunistic? Anyhow i think the chemist is now on enmore road, and the bakery is moving into the fitness first/supermarket building.

Cellarbrations is also open in that shopping centre.

Allegro coffee near the station is closed

The raised podium at the square has been removed and is now at ground level. Not the one with the washing machine, the one closer to the road (think it was due to emergency vehicle access)

Surprised to see a couple of stalls in said square on a thursday early pm, are they moving beyond the usual weekend setup?

Two new DA's you might have missed: the Changiing lanes festival will try to cram 5000 people into Eliza street: http://www.marrickville.nsw.gov.au/ePropertyProd/P1/PublicNotices/PublicNoticeDetails.aspx?r=$P1.WEBGUEST&f=$P1.ESB.PUBNOT.VIW&ApplicationId=DA201100226

and The old Elizabeth's bookshop has planning application for a PieFace to open, But I still recon Janet's Pies, next To Kelly's, has the best pies in Sydney.

Crepes Kingdom, tasty as it was, seemed to be almost always devoid of customers. I'm sad they are gone but surprised they lasted as long as they did.

The Eatery closed up and had a sign saying there had been electrical problems, then it just never reopened. Not sure if they are fixing it or have moved on.
