But those ribs.

while I am sad, I am also amused how originally there were all these grand plans for northlands and they realized how old the building the was and that it could not with stand the refurb they wanted to do and they of course saw the price tag

But those ribs.

Ribs and chowder was all I needed to satiate me (food wise, at least )

I think the continuing demise of Northlands has made the city reluctant to dump anymore money in that area.

oh yeah, the building was built to withstand world war 3 and they couldn't blow up the first time so they had to blow it up again?

Reminds me of the old Winnipeg Arena. I was on hand, along with a few hundred Jets fans to see the demolition/implosion... The explosives went off and after the dust finally settled, most of the arena was still in tact.
They ended up having to go at it with a back-hoe and steel cables - yanking on the main columns until the whole structure finally came crashing to the ground.

The broadcast centre in Commonwealth isn’t named after you by chance, is it?
