Is anyone besides MSME even playing??

Clue #1: I'm like a "Diamond in the rough".

Clue #2: Products once made here, were "to die for".

Clue #3: Try to think, "outside of the box"

Going more obvious now.

Clue #4: If you drop by my location we'll call it "even steven"

I was going to guess Consumers/Dominion Glass but I don't think it fits the clues too well.

You are right, they don't fit. Anyone else care to hazard a guess?

If no one gets it, I'll be back this afternoon with another clue.

The Pearl Company on Steven Street that is now an arts and performance facility. It used to be the Evel Casket Company.

Clue #2: Products once made here, were "to die for".

Clue #3: Try to think, "outside of the box"

I don't know certain areas of the city even though I have lived here my whole life. So if LikeHamilton is correct, I never even heard of that place.
So I wouldn't have gotten it.

Yea, we have a winner!!! Yes, it's the Pearl Company, so named because of the pearls between the floor boards (plastic pearls, as it was once a costume jewelry factory). CBC's program GO recorded a show there a couple of weeks ago, unfortunately I learned of it too late and the tickets were already sold out.

Clue #1 - I was thinking jewelry - Costume Jewelry Factory. Mentioning Pearls would have been a dead giveaway.

Clue #2 - I was thinking of the Evel Casket factory

Clue #3 - I was thinking of the time it was a box factory, but it could have also meant a 'pine box'

Clue #4 - It's located at an even number on Steven Street, 16 Steven.

Good work LikeHamilton, and MsMe I'm glad you learned something new about Hamilton. That's great!!

I don't even know where Steven St. is. I never knew about that part of the city at all.

It was on at the same time as the City Hall rally, so just as well.

Could have done both. It's live on the east coast, but on tape delay here.

We've been twice before and it's weird watching and listening to the show, then getting in your car and listening to the end over again

I was downtown yesterday and saw it somewhere (a picture/painting) so it was on the top of my mind.
