Are the rents on those units just untenable? Perhaps city taxes on empty storefronts should be adjusted to make filling them a more attractive option.

Most or perhaps all of the vacant units across the street are (probably/speculation) going to be turned into an LCBO.

Where was this exactly? For some reason, I never have seen this chimney, how could I have missed it?

Cool! Thanks so much. I have no idea how I missed that, perhaps because I haven't taken that part of Hall's Lane during the day for a while.
