For more than a century, the Blue Goose Tavern has been a local institution in Etobicoke — a neighbourhood watering hole and gathering place nestled right next to the Mimico GO Station.
By 1971, locals had nicknamed it the "Blue Goose Tavern" — a nod to a blue-tinged steam engine whose engineer regularly stopped in for a pint — and the name finally stuck.
The tavern officially became the Blue Goose Tavern, and soon cemented its status as Mimico's most beloved hangout.
The rear lot already has approvals for 12 townhomes, though those, also planned by Allegra Homes, remain stuck in the pre-construction phase despite an earlier projected completion date of 2022.
It's unclear exactly why the project stalled, but signs point to Allegra Homes potentially running out of cash — or steam.
