I think your right about the Broadview. Let's face it, revitalization and investment in Riverside has happened because of the speculation this would happen. It would be a shame if it didn't. That said the area just 6 years ago was pretty sketchy and has now turned into one of the coolest and most vibrant hoods in the city. Even though it no longer needs the New Broadview to reinvent itself it can't do anything but make it a bit better.

I wondered about that too, but if that chimney is original it makes me think that section may always have been flat. Wonder if there are any old photos around?
