    i'm somewhat ashamed to have some stuff stored here, it seems like such a waste of a very beautiful building. condos might be good for the neighbourhood's property values, but it would be awesome to see it used at some point for something that's economically productive, with jobs etc.

    I agree...it's a downer not to see new jobs or people coming into the community.
