Lovely, funky, magical, such was the downtown neighbourhood of Victorian houses demolished for a crap parking lot that still stands at Mackay and Dorchester today. Careers ruined, everybody from John Gardiner to Mayor Jean Dore to Nick Auf Der Maur all disgraced by their involvement. Remember Overdale. (Click on pic for a much better view).

Of course it was SUPPOSED to be demolished for a new development, which fell through, right?
ReplyDeleteIt amazes me that with all the new development on Rene Levesque, this prime land between E-Commerce Place and the new condos remains undeveloped.
