I was sure this building on Notre-Dame in Old Montreal would never be saved, but here you go. Never loose hope I guess.

Beautiful restoration, I'm glad they could save that building.
I took this two days ago, of a building at the Univeristy of Toronto campus which is being renewed and expanded on. It's the Fitzgerald Building, built in 1927 for the University. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...77cd6ef3_b.jpgA Restoration by Draulerin Photographics, on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...d49e5090_b.jpgA Restoration by Draulerin Photographics, on Flickr link to restoration: https://updc.utoronto.ca/project/fitzgerald-building-revitalization/ The building used to look like this: https://www.google.com/maps/@43.6594...192?authuser=0 |
While I'm glad they restored this building, I'm not very happy that the building seen on the right will be demolished. The building on the left has already been demolished and replaced by a much larger building, and the second phase of this expansion in academic space will see the building to the right replaced.

Our old Majestic Theatre (one of the few surviving vaguely flatiron-style buildings in the core) is finally re-opening. It was bought by a religious group ages ago and basically shuttered to avoid drinking, dancing and whatever else lol. We’ve finally got it back in the arts community’s hands.

Will it return as a theatre? Performance or movie?

Performance for certain - I haven't heard yet if it'll also function as a cinema.
First up is The Wild Rovers. Quote:

The restaurant Le 9ième, an art-deco gem in the old Eaton store, will reopen this may after being restored to its former glory.

Pictures from the preview opening of Eaton's Le 9e in downtown Montreal. The art deco restaurant was inaugurated in 1931 and closed down in 1999. It stayed frozen in time for 25 years before being restored.

We lost a beauty last night. Hangar 11—a WWII hangar at Blatchford (our former City Centre airport) that was once one of the busiest airports in the world supplying efforts to fight the war. Work was scheduled to begin this summer on restoring and developing it into a huge mixed-use project. Sad day.
