Dominos seems to have lost interest in 504 Hermit St.  That's a good thing, because a researcher at the University of Toronto released a report that shows how exposure to fast food impedes happiness

"...fast food not only impacts people’s physical health but may also shape their experience of happiness in unexpected ways.  Study 1 found that the concentration of fast-food restaurants in individuals’ neighborhoods predicted their tendencies to savor (pleasurable experiences).  Study 2 revealed that exposure to fast-food primes impeded participants’ ability to derive happiness from pictures of natural beauty. Study 3 showed that priming fast food undermined positive emotional responses to a beautiful melody by inducing greater impatience."


Now the Kowalski Post (currently on Shurs Lane - the place with all the flags out front) has expressed interest in the property for their club.  As soon as I have more information I will pass it on.
