I live very close to here, on Whitmore, and the location has been a blessing for us. It's so nice to be able to walk over in the mornings (when there is consistently a line) and pick up some snacks for breakfast. The fromagerie and convenience store are also welcome additions. Obviously I'm bias because I'm a member of these suburbs, but I see no problem with the new location 
.
For reference, we lived at William and Avondale uptown for 10 years and moved here 8 years ago to accommodate a growing family, sure I miss the hustle and bustle but it really hasn't been as cataclysmic as some people seem to make moving to 'the suburbs' out to be. Do I miss the convenience of living uptown? Sure. But do I welcome strip malls like the one Sabletine's moved into? Sure! One other thing about Waterloo is that even the suburbs are only a 10 minute bike ride from city hall, and that is taking the long route through hillside park and other trails.
