Last time I was inside was probably to see the Empire Strikes Back more than 45 years ago... I can still recall what R2-D2 sounded like paired with the big screen. Back then asbestos just wasn't a concern (and there were many bad things floating around in the Hamilton air, likely at much higher...

Perhaps, but only a little.

Easiest to move it to an area where there will be less opposition. And it does have to go somewhere.

Agreed.

I agree. But at one time everyone was down on Vranich for failing to make any progress on his vast real estate holdings in the core... we're still down on his company, but for different reasons. Hopefully if Blanchard ever gets going, he doesn't cheap out (but given the track record, that's a...

I guess we find out tomorrow night how the "new" digs work for sports. Is anyone going to the Rock game?

I think I'd prefer to see one of the other proposals move forward first, rental or otherwise. Or more happen in the 6-to-10 storey range, especially eastward of downtown (hopefully progress in procuring LRT will happen and spur that along)

I other words, it'll fit right in.

Do many (any?) companies make that style of window now?

I think that had the city gotten the NHL (and Joyce's turn at being a prospective owner was probably the best one we've had; I agree the league is different now... Balsillie's attempts were rather ham-fisted), we'd all be lamenting that the team had left and be talking in desperation about how...

It was a great area to grow up. I worked part-time at the Fortinos for years in the late-80s and early 90s and it was life-changing. All the friends that I see most often are connected in some way to that store. And it was walking distance from home. Won't be anything done to the plaza while...

Thank you. There is also one on the north side. After reading about it here, I hold my breath every time the train goes over that bridge. Though I hope whatever was in imminent danger has been shored up. I probably should hold breath for others too, but there are many and it's not like it would...

Nice view, though it's such a shame we can see so much of this building (and the ones in front of it at Main/James). Meanwhile, no updates on what may happen with that gap and the space behind what's still standing.
