As mentioned in my last post about the demise of the Brunny - there is good news on Bloor as well. This building, the former Hungarian Palace, was empty and abandoned not for years, but for decades. When I was a small boy (and lived up the street) the entire ground level was not only completely boarded over, but covered in chicken-wire as well. Above that was flaking black paint and the two rows of emblazoned shields I mentioned.
