in my opinion the sa is the predominate reason why this corner suffers. once (or if) they move, watch the neighbourhood turn around quickly.
There's also a great streetwall of bulidings along the north side of Queen, just east of Sherbourne waiting to be loved.Wouldn't it be strange if in 5 years people referred to Queen and Sherbourne like they do now to an intersection like King and Bathurst? Sounds crazy but if the 3 corners of develop'able land at Q+S are in fact re-developed into condos and retail, and Moss Park is "revitalized" by the City, combined with everything else that is already happening at Sherbourne+Richmond and Queen East towards Parliament, this could be a desirable place to be in the near-term. Imagine saying the words "I live at Queen and Sherbourne", and actually feeling good about saying it!
I have also heard that the Salvation Army building will close when the new building at Jarvis and Shuter opens.
those are heritage, might prove difficult to develop.
The south-east corner of Jarvis/Shuter is part of the Moss Park Armoury - admittedly a green part of it. The Armoury runs on east side of Jarvis all the way from Shuter to Queen. To the east of it is Moss Park itself.I am picturing some sort of park on the south east corner of Jarvis and Shuter. What is there now? I'll try to swing by this stretch tomorrow...

Strange? I think it'd be nothing short of a miracle.
