Also the Olympia club isn't exactly even - the part on the left is shallower in than the right - not sure why they did that, or maybe that's how it originally was.. so much to ponder.. I've been aching to go inside it for so long.. but still it sits empty..

It was fairly recently renovated, wasn't it? I can't recall exactly when. Uses/emptiness could be timing-related.
I think downtown King St. (the part west of the International Village) is finally transitioning from discount retail and cash-money launder... er, lenders to something better. LRT will make life difficult for some retailers for a number of years, but the people living in Cobalt and other new developments will still need local 'stuff'
