I just drove past the former Boa Nova Restaurant at Charles and Ontario St and noticed that workers are on the site working on the interior (I was surprised because it was after 7pm).
As I am going to be away until Thursday, I have a favour to ask, if anyone is down that way and is able to ask any workers what is happening with the building. I would be very interested if anyone can find out what is going to happen to the barrel shaped wooden sign that faces Charles St. I seem to recall that the then restaurant owner had it specially made from wood salvaged from Seagrams (?). If that is so, I think it should be saved and perhaps donated to the Regional History Museum rather than thrown away. I'd be grateful if anybody can find out more and, perhaps, let someone know that I might be interested in acquiring it if it is not spoken for.
