I was musing to a friend the other day that this lot could make for a slightly better option for the Indigenous Centre proposed by some for the Charles St Terminal lot. Still central and accessible but not taking away what is otherwise a fairly central (read: high land value) parcel that may better raise some funds with a developer towards some much needed housing in a core area.
They should turn the boathouse into an indigenous center. It's an okay music venue, and the best downtown patio by far, and yet nobody has been able to turn it into a successful business. May as well put it to good use.
