I agree.

Downtown will be closer to the tourists and people from out of town.

That s exactly what I am thinking. Plus the amount of vehicular traffic along lakeshore blvd and even carlaw during rush hour is phenomenal. Now to find two volunteers ( Or family members) to prance along Lakeshore and Carlaw with either a pac man costume chasing a ghost, or donkey kong and a mario character costume,holding signs and directing people in. I am sure there are locals, students,or mental cases who may think of it as" an experience". Ha ha. Might end up being me out there, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
The other option( If that doesn't pan out) is to find a suitable young lady to prance along the same intersection with the costume below, not really family oriented, so that is why it is a last resort, but they say sex sells.

Corporate 'Brainstorming' Meetings = $$$ during the daytime.

Will there be food?

Yes , thanks for the idea. My brother in law is a chef, and I have already discussed the possibility of incorp. some food into the mix, he seems interested. Plus I can maybe cajoul him and my sister into putting on the costumes and going around the corner!!! Seriously though, if you make some half decent food available during the day for corporate types, plus the proximity to downtown, it makes a lot of sense.I had considered renting it out as a venue for more evening type events, but this is a great idea, and how many guys would love to go there with their work, under the guise of brainstorming? Bottom line is I am willing to do anything and everything to make this place a going concern. I really appreciate the idea, thank you very much

Kids birthday parties (or private functions) could be a good source of revenue.  Flat for fee for a specified time with a certain amount of tokens included.  InPlay (in Newmarket) is an example of this.

That is one avenue that we have planned to exploit, definitely! I am also deciding whether to dress up in a mario costume, as my uniform, whenever I am there.

That might be a bit creepy

Yes, maybe, but better than the two piece pac costume ( ha Ha)
