Comings and Goings

Your Boulevardier got his hair cut on Friday and picked up a bit of news from around the town.
  • The price of a haircut at the Village Barber Shop will soon rise to $18. The cost of just about everything is on the rise, it seems. One wonders how this increase will affect the barbers' tips.
  • The Peking Village restaurant closed on Father's Day. The storefront has a thank you note in the window.
  • The former Primrose Bakery site in Castro Village will become an Indian restaurant.
  • The El Rancho Supermercado (across from Trader Joe's) is back in business after having their building largely redone. (The reconstruction was a result of the fire at the next-door antique store, which now sits vacant.)
  • EBMUD's Stanton Property has been taken off the market. (This was confirmed by the Daily Review.)

I'm glad to hear the new restaurant will be an Indian joint. I saw the COMING SOON sign over the weekend; the handwritten notice said "cuisine" but didn't know it was Indian food. Yay!

The last two new restaurants I've noticed on the Boulevard have been Thai places (diplacing their former Italian and French/Mexican tenants), so I'm glad this will be something different.

I do miss the Primrose bakery, where I used to get cakes for special occasions — carefully studying the inventory before choosing.

We just received a pack of Castro Village coupons in the mail today. The new restaurant will be called Aroma Cuisine of India, and will be open for lunch 11am-2:30pm and dinner 5-10pm, with the Grand Opening in July 2008.
