I agree snake. I have a business within a block of the Bus and we still have the burnt out building on Quebec. We have to be able to write a bylaw to this regard.

Landmark??? Good heavens, that was a very unsightly building! How pathetic is that, just because something is old, does NOT make it a treasure!
