As for the Broadview, I wouldn't be surprised at all if it became identical to the Gladstone, its western counterpart.

I agree on both counts. It looks like they just gave the old girl a really good scrub and replaced a few ready to fall apart parts of the building. It looks great but they could have gone the extra mile. The top corner must have looked different when they first built it. Also it looks like we are missing a ledge just under it. Oh well it's still a good effort.

I think your right about the Broadview. Let's face it, revitalization and investment in Riverside has happened because of the speculation this would happen. It would be a shame if it didn't. That said the area just 6 years ago was pretty sketchy and has now turned into one of the coolest and most vibrant hoods in the city. Even though it no longer needs the New Broadview to reinvent itself it can't do anything but make it a bit better.
