I guess at the end of the day what CF really cares is that they've got rid of that structural crumbling masonry"for a new re clad with shiny Eco Friendly glass that will achieve LEED standards to get them more rent

There's a series of photos in (new) City Hall showing what the surrounding area looked like before, during and after construction of City Hall and NPS. I saw the above picture, plus another one from a few years earlier (pre Scotts Chicken Villa).

There was one at Brampton Shopper's World. Sort of a buffet version of KFC and a bit fancier.
