Remington's newest mural is going up at MissionFit, the youth-focused gym on Sisson Street. Justin Nethercut, a world-renowned artist (well, London and Montreal at least) from Station North, has begun filling in the outline and he should be finishing in the coming weeks. Nether is locally famous for the Freddie Gray mural on Mount & Presbury.

Mount Royal Soap Company also was granted a mural for their location at 28th and Huntingdon. Another Remington cat makes a debut.
New Ottobar Owner Announced
May 10, 2019. According to a post on WTMD.org, Tecla Tesnauis will become the new owner of The Ottobar. She has bartended at the venue since it opened downtown 21 years ago on. She doesn't plan to change the current business plan (except cleaner bathrooms) and hopes to bring in drag shows, literary nights and other events to build on The Ottobar’s storied reputation.
Ever since the sale was announced in November of last year, Tesnau watched potential buyers come and go, each imagining what type of business they would bring in architects to see how they could re-imagine The Ottobar as an exclusive club for rock music or some other genre.
Regular customers were dismayed with the sale and Tesnauis fielded hundreds of questions about the potential owners. It because apparent that the bar meant so much to the patrons, Tesnau decided to see what it would take to buy The Ottobar herself. And after months of consulting with investors, financial advisors and the club’s current owners, she is officially the new owner.

The Ottobar’s current schedule of shows will continue as planned, and Tesnau is planning a series of events to celebrate the club’s new ownership this fall.

competition.
The Cahoots Brothers and Codex Club will soon occupy storefronts at 300 W. 29th Street and 2700 Remington Avenue, Suite 1100, respectively.
The Cahoots Brothers will showcase the making of its goods, which will feature handmade goods, is a partnership between Kyle Johnson, founder of Bluestone Goldsmithing; Warner Blak, director of sales and marketing; of Bluestone, Greg Morton (who doesn't work for Bluestone, but will be the general manager for Cahoots Brothers), Alex Bell, a ceramicist/photographer, and Arvay Adams, a clothing maker.

If you have seen the demolition of the old Pizza Bolis, the Cahoots will definitely need all the allowance.
