way to go, Toronto

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2013.11.22

Which of the following are now gone or going:

a) Honest Ed's (to make way for condos)

b) World's Biggest Bookstore (to make way for condos)

c) Sam the Record Man (becoming part of Ryerson)

d) Royal Alexandra Theater (to make way for condos)

e) Princess of Wales Theater (to make way for condos)

f) all of the above!

That's right, it's 'f'. The deal that would kill the two theaters is still pending the approval of city council (only one of whom is a known crack user) but c) is long gone and a) and b) have dates with the wrecking ball.
