I thought I'd never say it, but that lot would look better as a parking lot. At least people don't look at parking lots and immediately lock the doors in their car
or are you guys talking about a different building?

I don't think anybody would miss the building per se if it were replaced by another new building, but that isn't what we're talking about. The issue at hand is that Winnipeg doesn't need another surface parking lot. The exchange district is all we have left!
Our downtown already looks like it was the victim of a bombing raid. I've never seen a city with as much downtown surface parking as we have here in Winnipeg.
In theory, if surface parking lead to more people coming in from the burbs to shop and play we would have one of the most vibrant downtowns in the whole of North America.
