Boo, Bao Pham

Granted that this quote may be presented out of context, I still am putting a heavy black mark against Caffe Barney. Here, the quote by Bao Pham, owner of the building which Soma and Monsoon once occupied and currently occupy, published in the Westender:

Asked whether he thought kicking out two landmark businesses would have any impact on the neighbourhood, Pham did not express any concern. “It doesn’t matter — it’s business,” he said. “I bought the building for [my] business.”

I heard a rumour that Caffe Barney on Granville St is closing and that its relocation to Main St was possible. This article may explain the origins of that rumour.
