Sleek and polished isn't necessarily my scene--but I'm happy to see the Village thriving. It was always the place "with potential" in the city, and it's finally starting to live up to that. Onward and upward. Expansion outward--down George toward Bay, and the possible twin anchors of a live entertainment venue in the west and a hotel on the HMP site in the east could make Hess the rival of districts in far larger cities.

I feel bad for Earl's Court--his was the last holdout from Hess' first era as a chi-chi street of dress shops and art galleries. Hosing off vomit would be a bummer--but RTH is right, he could very well be dealing with condoms and syringes too. Hope he's successful wherever he goes.
