[PHOTO] The departed Linux Caffe, 326 Harbord Street

[rfmcdonald]

I had a soft spot for the Linux Caffè, located at 326 Harbord Street on the intersection of Harbord and Grace across from Bickford Park. I photographed the active store from the Harbord Street side in 2008; later, in the winter of 2012, I snapped a photo of a good luck maneki neko cat statue. Soon after, though, the restaurant closed down.

This is the way the location looked early this month, with no sign of the new cafe Chris Bateman mentioned in his August 2012 update.
