I'm all in favour of progress; the last thing I would want is for the city to stagnate and one of the things I love about it is the constant change, but sometimes the clash of old and new is more extreme than I care for...

I agree you!!! miclaud · 2010-09-26: 10:16

The "old" gets so lost among the steel that after reading what you wrote I had to look again and see what you were talking about... sad. DancingDolphin · 2010-09-26: 17:41

I saw a few similar cases in Toronto...and probably every city has some. It might make a great subject for photography, but it's sad to see old buildings sandwiched and squished between imposing modern buildings...There are very rare occasions when it actually works well...but they still need more space for that. redro · 2010-09-28: 00:46
