For a brief time, the occupants behind the windows get to look out at the sunshine. The old corner store has been demolished for a condo.

I have always loved “artist’s conception” illustrations. They are so rosy and fake. Looks as though the people behind those neighbouring windows have more to worry about than a disappearing view. Their whole building has disappeared and the condo-to-be stands alone!

Also missing are the hydro wires, the streetcar cables, a few rusty poles and the traffic signals. Even the streetcar tracks have vanished.
