Yep that's a pity, albeit the building appears to have suffered from neglect since before I can even remember.

To be bluntly honest, I had no clue such a place existed and I'm definitely not an antique shopper.

It was a really unique place and hidden gem. We would stop by walking to Whyte from Downtown and as mentioned, always had thoughts of it becoming more of a community hub.

City of Edmonton asks for input on Old Strathcona revitalization - Edmonton | Globalnews.ca
After two phases and public engagement sessions, the city is in its third phase of the Old Strathcona Public Realm Strategy.

Glad to see progress on this and I'm liking some of the ideas put forward. The tricky part will be getting funding though, will definitely be a few years out until we see actual construction taking place.

Make it make sense, man... The city seems to intentionally play against itself... No wonder it's so hard to attract businesses to our more urban areas, with the city seemingly making everything in its power to make it harder for them to survive.Edmonton pub’s popular Whyte Ave patio stuck in ‘nightmare’ bureaucratic limbo - Edmonton | Globalnews.ca

That's unfortunate and disappointing given everything.
What I don't get is how the city's and business's information and expectations were so different. You can plan for change, but not for stupidity.
Here's hoping a middle ground and some common sense can be found.

Anyone know which building is on fire? I'm betting it's the Raymond Block.

Sounds like it was Julio's Barrio that was on fire
