It's a huge amount of money to be sure. But in a city that tears everything down, it's nice to know that building will be sound and have a viable use for years to come. As Canada's only theatre in the round it is a unique tourist draw and one of the only real destinations downtown. I'm hoping to see the revitalization of 11th get back on track as well with the Globe set to re-open. New changes to density guidelines could help bring more people downtown as well. At least I'm hoping so, as like many others, I'm not digging the current Walking Dead vibe down there.
