I have no idea what comes next, except that it will not be the immediate demolition of the two buildings in question. That may happen yet, but at least we're still talking.

I can't blame people I know and respect for being skeptical. It's not as if we have a proven track record of success with these last minute campaigns to save heritage, except for perhaps the Lister. But that got complicated, and ugly, and expensive. But it's still here. And a beautiful element of our downtown. Jeff Feswick avoided this particular bend in the road by starting out with saving heritage as his goal. The changing face of Treble Hall is testament to his own belief system.

In this case, the road ahead is not likely to be so direct. Having said that, I'm open to hearing what the elements of the go forward plan are, and then deciding if it's a plan worthy of support.

What I'm most pleased about at this moment though, is that demolition of these buildings will not begin tomorrow. That's an awfully small victory, but it might be one that ends up lasting lifetimes.
