I'm very aware that Yonge Street is under redevelopment pressure but still it's a historic street and it should be kept that way. That's my issue.

I'm not saying that it is exclusive to Yonge Street. The place where they're planning to erect a 50 storey condo complex could easily be spared in favour of restoration so as not to be an eyesore. The place where the Gasworks used to be again could easily be restored as well. Who the hell...

I know.. I see it has the potential to be a great area and instead they're waiting for someone to come and destroy the historical signiffgance that it was designated as. :( Nobody sees the potential like I do because nobody has taken the fact that Yonge Street was declared to be a historical...

That's where the Gasworks bar used to be until it closed in January 1993. :( This is really obscene. :( Someone should turn it back into a bar or some other type of profitable business instead of letting big business walk all over the City Council. I think the potential is there. I think...

I don't get it? Why shut down the Gasworks in the first place? They should at least designate it a historical landmark so that nobody will be able to hurt it like that ever again. And it should become a night attraction again. It seems like it was a waste shutting The Gasworks down. If I could...
