An interesting feature by the Globe and Mail on the neverending fight to get a company's draught tap installed in bars -- and kept there.

A few more tidbits from a Globe and Mail story on the closing of three rep cinemas:

Jerry Szczur, who owns the Fox and Paradise and helped to start Festival Cinemas Group 30 years ago, says he is considering selling his two cinemas and retiring. "Their problems are my problems too," he says, referring to the McQuillans. "It's not like it used to be." ...

Last month, Camera, a new Queen Street West bar-cinema experiment partly owned by Atom Egoyan, stopped its daily screenings. The ones that remain, such as the Bloor, the Regent and the Mount Pleasant, are seeming more like survivors than thrivers in an increasingly unworkable market.

For reference, here's my earlier post on this topic.
