   Maybe all the heritage storefronts aren’t actually integrated into high rises… with a couple of exceptions, I suppose I must stand corrected…but I think this is a cool feature for Rideau Street… the old school Main Street buildings with the new condos and offices behind them…

   Worth keeping around?

     It’s too bad that HBC isn’t supporting a heritage designation for this local landmark (relatively humble as it may be, it still fits in along a main drag where many heritage storefronts have already been maintained as pediments for high rise developments).

     When I think of a 400-year old company, I don’t automatically connect it to opposition to heritage… well, they must enjoy playing hot potato with the topic.
