From the Globe and Mail today:
"The city has been working to revitalize the downtown area, and the fire is a setback. But councillor Don Zurowski said the city will push ahead in its revitalization efforts.
"It's discouraging - the building had a nice presentation, a good street appeal and it's certainly a loss. But Third Avenue is a much-improved street to what it used to be, we're doing Fourth Avenue next, and I'm confident this property will be used for something productive."
WOW - have we been working to revitalize? On what? 4th Ave is a two-year old, stalled project ballooning in budget.
Vote carefully in November!
