September 10, 2014

The province has announced that it intends to sell the Queen's Quay LCBO outlet and warehouse.  Prospective buyers, which is to say condominium developers, will be on the hook to provide a new head office location and LCBO store in the area and it is a safe bet that the historical boards will have things to say about preserving features of the buildings in question.

This notion has been floated before so I am not especially worried but I would miss the Queen's Quay LCBO as they tended to carry all of the off beat releases and they were only a marginally ambitious walk from the GO train and GO bus terminals.  Just the same, one should never underestimate Toronto's lust to stain its waterfront with ever more condominiums.  And they dare to mock the 905 area.
