I have had a number of correspondents write to me asking where this month’s Changes on the Drive edition is. Unfortunately, after more than ten years of monthly reporting, I am no longer physically able to walk the walk that makes it happen.
Especially now that the Drive is reviving from the pandemic slump, I shall miss cataloguing the changes and tracking the vacant storefront. I will do my best to report what I can see each month, but it is unlikely I can go into the detail that I like to produce.
Here are a couple of items I had planned to feature this month:
At 2247 Commercial, Juno Provisions opened a couple of months ago. Scout magazine had an interesting article about them.
Also, at 1590 Commercial, we now have Hanai, a Hawai’ian themed restaurant that opened earlier this week. Once again, Scout has a piece on the refurbishing of the old Ugly Dumpling spot.
I feel sure there were plenty more interesting items available this month on the Drive and I am sad not to be able to bring them to this space.
I want to thank the many people who read this column every month, many of whom sent me tips and stories.

Thank you for keeping the column going for as long as you did! I always looked forward to reading it every month. :)
Not gone! :-)
Sorry to hear that you can’t continue the series. I’ve enjoyed getting a heads up every month on what was changing along the Drive.
Jak and Changes on the Drive are back!! Watch for December 1!
