Now that construction is starting, I just want to remind everyone of the demolition scandal when Stollery's was taken down. First thing they did was take a hammer to the Deco ornamentations, on the weekend. That really didn't set Mizrahi up as the good guy, so how do we feel now?

I feel that past event has been talked to death and that you are not saying anything new about it.

This dead horse has been flogged, eaten, regurgitated, and re-flogged, ad-nauseam. Let's leave it there.

Stollery's was a scandal, but done legally. It was ultimately a victim of a substandard heritage preservation process, a developer smart enough to navigate the loopholes, and an understaffed heritage department. But I agree there's nothing left to discuss in respect to The One; it's a chapter closed.

Nothing special about the Strolley's building.
Shill! :p

I must have missed this . . . you make it sound like he didn't have permits - which I find hard to believe.

He did and he did it right, Lets put it this way....if Stollerys hadn't been demolished at the time it would have been embroiled in so much red tape that you would have never seen a project of this magnitude built at this location
