From the other side of the street it looked as if a Balaclava newsagency ended the year by closing. I go past it every day on the way to get the best coffee in Melbourne (Gattica) and noticed this morning that the window was covered over with old newspapers. My assumption was wrong. The sign on the door advises that they have closed for a week to remodel. Newsagencies never close to remodel given the daily nature of their products so the move is odd.
While I will reserve my judgment on the value of the closure once I see what they open with, the result will have to be stunning given they have a bigger and better located competitor 150 metres away.
