| 2017-09-03: Over the last several years there have been some changes to the lot, none very good. For the last years or two this has been the scene. It appears to be both 'unitdy and unsighly' and a possible Land Use Bylaw violation. The city is investigating. | ||

From Farrier To Hair Salon Service .John Tidridge Centre One 18 Beauty Salon and LL Clothing and Fine Things 6411-118 Avenue NW 1-780-471-2919 I was talking to my son-in-law Tuppy Tyler that I had dropped of a questionnaire at the "new'" Hair Salon on 118 Avenue at 64 Street. He told me it was hardly new but had moved from 118 Avenue and 54 Street. He knew Marline and was sure she would help us out. I have but a fleeting interest in hair ... but, here we go .... Marline Lake, wife of Nathaniel and mother of four children has re-opened at the above location. Marline who won the Canadian National Griot Award (in the trade) in October 2003, offers full, professional hair salon services. "If you are unhappy with your hair, come in and see us we will make you happy" Educated in the West Indies and Canada, Marline has been practising her craft since 1984. Her salon specializes in hair extension, perm, colour, healing scalp problems and many more areas associated with having good hair. The salon (along with Marline) offers a friendly, warm relaxing and inviting atmosphere to all. She had found the Highlands (and Bellevue) people friendly and invites them to drop in to check out the services and take time for a coffee. Along with the Salon is an additional annex offering 'funky' clothes, and regular stuff too, (! l ) along with African artifacts, black dolls and literature ... check both out when you visit. |

DARBY & STAR-LITE John Tidridge If you have travelled 118 Avenue on a regular basis over the last several years you will have noticed some changes to two business premises located on the south side of the avenue and west of 64 Street. Coming from the east the first one would have been Darby Cleaners, who offered a first class cleaning service, with a very pleasant front desk staff. And, I am sure the owner was a regular at the plant sales put on by the 54th Cub Pack… but, as usual, I digress… The store and grounds were maintained in good condition and the business was a credit to the area. Things however change, and the business moved downtown… the store was left ‘abandoned’ and finally deteriorated to the point where it was torn down. In an article of a couple of years ago I learned that there would arise a building that would consist of ground floor retail and upper storey condos… progress has been slow and it now appears to be at a standstill… Next door, having sat lonely and forlorn after having provided excellent service and Chinese food for many years, sits the former Star-lite Restaurant. William the owner sadly conceded it was almost impossible to get staff, having lost a former manager to illness. So he decided to give up the site. My curiosity was piqued as I noted workers inside the building… then more recently, I noticed a man working in the front yard… adding to the signs asking for tradesmen. He told me the plans he knew of meant the roof of the building would be removed and condos built… there was no suggestion that the building would be joined to the old Darby Cleaners building which sit but inches from the building. We shall see… |
The old Darby Cleaners building has been an eye sore for more years than I care to remember! I remember when it was busy and the window boxes packed with red geraniums, which some years were purchased from the 54th Highlands Baptist Cub Pack. I remember the lady who worked there; ever helpful and polite! Boldly displayed on the now empty plot is a sign, seeking tradesman. I called the number and had a good conversation with Nick Shostak, the owner of the land and the developer of the property. I learned that a walk-up condo building is planned, with a completion date in about 6 months. It will have a parkade and retail space on the main floor and two floors above that, capped by a good looking roof. Permits have been issued. Suites will range in size from 700-1000 square feet. Mr. Shostak lives in the Highlands and wants the best for the neighbourhood. I am sure neighbours will be keeping on eye on the progress being made! Written sometime prior to October 2012 |
