EDIT: Sorry kids, I misread that - Western Canada's oldest Vaudeville theatre - originally built by Pantages himself.

Wow. That's a disgrace.

They're just tear-down crazy everywhere, eh?

 

[Widebrim]

Disgusting. Vancouver sounds like Canada's version of Salt Lake City.

 

[J.J. Gittes]

Damn Shame... These types of debacles among other things are what have inspired me to apply to college for a major in Historical Preservation.

Write letters, mes amis. I encourage my friends and detractors alike in the FL to email Gregor Robertson. and tell him that his friends in the real estate biz that they can build condos elsewhere.

I looked up some photos of it to see more.

That's sad...
