Mitch: Pretty sad, it's quite literally a piece of Montreal being erased forever (I can't even visualize that part of downtown without that tiny 3 story building with the red "Bens" sign). I last passed by......

BDweller: "The Bushwick Initiative...Who is this for?" Boy, you are some busybody, upfromflames. Digging, poking, photographing and posting; then posing provocative questions. I'll take your bait. The city's official response to the steady influx of Latinos and blacks......
