BURLINGTON, ON

 

We now know why Kelly’s Bake Shop store front has not been demolished.

The facade of Kelly’s on the left and the facade of the white building on the right will be include in the street level of the development that will take up the whole block.

Both the façade of what people have known as Kelly’s and the façade of the building that fronts on John Street, historically known as the Ice House, will be kept and made part of the streetscape.

Good idea – kudos to whoever came up with it.

The news came out of ward 2 Councillor ward meeting that was done virtually.

    Dorothy,

    Kelly’s will be reopening in December on Brant Street next to Jeff’s Guy Shop for those who frequented the bakery.

    Why? So the visitors can come and look at what used to be a tourist attraction and is now a condo building? Downtown Burlington no longer has anything to attract visitors to the city centre except overpriced restaurants.
