Stopped by today to take a closer look, and--while every storefront around them is papered over--Sh. Rustaveli is not.... Still the same rather bedraggled curtains in the window. They were not open today, however, it appears--either on my way out Dempster in the early afternoon or on my way home in the early evening.
Also on Dempster, bad news--the "Coming Soon--Kabul House" sign has been replaced with one announcing "Coming Soon--State Farm Agency" with a smaller sign advertising additional office space for rent....
