Hey there, time traveller!

A city eatery that ran afoul of pandemic health orders has decided to call it quits.
Monstrosity Burger, which faced fines of up to $1 million for breaking public health orders, took to Instagram to announce its decision to close.
“We laid it all on the line for you and provided a safe space of freedom, love and sanity during these last couple of years. We appreciate and love each of you that supported us, which brought us strength, peace and assured us we were doing the right thing,” the post said. “Unfortunately, over the past months, that support has diminished to such a degree that we cannot afford to stay open any longer.”

Monstrosity Burger, which faced fines of up to $1 million for breaking public health orders, took to Instagram to announce its decision to close.
In recent weeks it was believed the restaurant would move from its location on Corydon Avenue.
The post said the owners had resorted to paying employees from their own savings and were hopeful business would improve.
“As you probably know, we put the Tuxedo Village Greek part of our restaurant up for sale a week ago, but the overwhelming ‘hate’ that lashed out from this city across social media reassured us we are not welcome here by most.”
The post said its doors will close following Le Burger Week, which takes place from Sept. 1 to 14.
The owners declined to speak to the Free Press.
