1. Another one bites the dust
Original English title:Another one bites the dust
Post content summary:Another one is gone. Smokes poutinerie was bought out years ago and has been slowly going downhill. Recently, the sign came down and a new fundraising poster is up in the window. Whether you like the food or not, there seems to be a growing theme of an established business selling to new owners, only to end up closing and reopening with new ideas.
