shops and boutiques are the core of small town centres and such establishments arc necessary to revitalize a small town and make it a living organism Whats interesting is its possible and can be done

down buildings like that he noted The Heritage Canada spokesman presented a series of slides showing restoration work which renovated entire areas at a cost of less than or equal razing and reconstruction of modern buildings An example of a significant loss to Ontario is the tearing down of Queen St a building which was structurally sound but punished for what happened within its walls
