3 Goblins Games has also been a big add to downtown. They're coming up on their first anniversary this week and the store has brought me downtown on a weekly basis. That store helped me realize that I like going downtown.
I've been going to Ritual for coffee breaks and occasionally lunches, and it is generally busy with people on laptops, court folks and office peeps like myself. They've been there... five years? Over five? It's great that they've managed to establish themselves as a great little cafe, and their in-house roasted beans are pretty darn good.
There is A LOT of negative hyperbole about Downtown PG.
I work downtown and there are issues of course that don't need to be repeated here. But it's not the war-zone many make it out to be. Mon-Sat there is enough activity that it feels like a generally functioning downtown. Sunday is definitely owned by the street crowd though.
Arguably it was on a strong upswing prior to Covid-19, which unfortunately knocked all of that hard work at turning the corner back 10-15 years. Now it's a slow grind back up again.
Agreed. We need some savvy and forward thinking investors to buy downtown. Would be interesting to know the vacancy rate down there for retail/commercial.

One of my favourite stops when I’m at work down there. Great staff!
