The building housing Club Diablo at 517 Washington Street is on the market with a $389,750 asking price. Nearly across the street, one of the townhouse units that Eran Epstein is creating at 504-508 Washington Street is sporting a “sale pending” sign. 517 Washington is a three-story, 6,820 sq.ft. mixed-use building. Club Diablo is located on the first floor (apparently not a part of the sale) and two full-floor residential units on the second and third floors. One of the apartments is rented while the second is being used by the current building owner. Realty Edge Inc. has the listing.

In order to get the job done, Mike is looking for a 20’x40′ space (contact Mike) where he can construct the boat. Once built, Mike would like to showcase…

When I first saw that Cafe Allegro had closed its doors on Hertel, I was surprised. I had thought that they were doing brisk business. It turns out that the cafe had outgrown its space and was pursuing a larger location on the street. Allegro Cafe has reopened, incorporated table service and more than doubled its size, while adding a ton of new culinary offerings. Part restaurant and part cafe, Allegro Cafe is now open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and is even serving up a Sunday brunch. The business is also open seven days a week, which means that…
