Why? Anything is better than Payless and those other tired stores in that crumbling building.
Wish they would put in a building like I saw in Toronto near yonge-dundas square, it had a multiple restaurants on upper floors all with outdoor seating...don't have a picture but one if them was jack astors.
There's nothing wrong with the Payless building. The others on that site would not be missed, but leave the corner alone.

Nothing classic or historic here.
Disagree.
Can you tell the difference between a building and the stores in it?
Let's assume they tear this down and put up a cheap pre-cast/alucobond/all-glass job. In 10 years it looks more dated than the (historic and beautiful) building currently housing Payless. Is your solution to tear down the building currently there which has stood the test of time pretty well, and build cheap junk every 10 years just to guarantee there will be a new store signing a lease and moving in?
this would seem to be the one building on that side of the street that stands out as being subpar to the rest .
Would you be willing to articulate your reasons for disagreeing?
Historic: This building is 80-130 years old. That alone makes it historic.
