That lovely old building that looks down on Pigeon Park (Hastings and Carroll) is finally getting some work done on it. I think last year there were some big chunks of it that fell out onto the street or lane so it became a serious safety issue. I walked by the door of the shop that occupied the main floor and they had a sign up saying "closing/going out of business/last day of sale".
