The Sun left the building today: http://www.torontosun.com/2016/03/25/the-suns-big-move
What a symbolic moment in the transition of this neighbourhood. I've only been here 13 years but even to me, it's unrecognizable. 333 King E has changed as much as anywhere: from a giant bunker of blank dirty windows, orange brick, abandoned shipping bays and near-empty parking lots into a vibrant, multi-use building that serves the local population every day. Sure it's still pretty ugly but it integrates better than a lot of shiny new condo towers. When the adjoining Globe and Mail Centre opens the transformation will continue even faster.
