The idea that these facades were in someway adding value to the public realm is just wrong. Im all for conserving heritage properties, but these were in absolute disrepair and frankly it's a welcome sight to see them go. This is what they used to be used for back in 2012 lol
I think what we are all fearful of more than an empty lot is what disaster they will put up in their place.. blanchard originally wanted to put a damn TARGET there..
