For the past seven years, Fixed Coffee has been a community hub in St. John's. (Andrew Sampson/CBC)Businesses come and go, but the closure of Fixed Coffee and Baking is a loss to the St. John's community that will reverberate for a long time. On Wednesday, Fixed Coffee owner Jon Howse announced the shop will close on March 4. When I try and describe the reasons why I stay in St. John's, instead of moving back home to Halifax, I think of places like this. The demise of Fixed Coffee is yet another stark warning for @CityofStJohns - Council has to do something about the erosion of our downtown.
