Incidentally, you'll notice that that wonderfully renovated shop house next to this project is just a kinder, gentler pawnshop. The more things change, well, you know the rest...

The Kind Exchange is not even remotely close to a pawn shop, but OK.

^Just looked it up - I stand corrected. Maybe things are changing in the International Village after all.

I'm fascinated to see all of the negative comments towards a project that is actually really amazing for this area. The renovated commercial spaces which brought new businesses into the area and the renovation and restoration of historically significant buildings should be met with positivity and enthusiasm, not pessimism and negativity. Getting caught up on the wording of the marketing material, which is meant to sell these spaces seems petty and immature. After all, isn't this exactly what most of us on this forum have been asking for over the years?

Time to fire the marketing manager

Love the project though. Great Addition.

Eat. Drink. Love. oh wait that's Wolfgang Pucks. I can guess the marketing agency, I won't say who but they are from St. Catharines. Same as Royal Connaught's marketers.

Nope. The person who did these works out of CoMotion on King

Point taken but don't mistake pettiness for a lack of optimism or excitement for this project and for the city as a whole. I'm quite sure everybody's thrilled, if not stunned, by what's happening at the old Sandbar and those involved deserve credit for getting it done at long last.

Are 191 King and 193 the same building? The video titles say 191 but the description below says 193.
