I definitely agree that this was a characteristic intersection in Toronto. It'll be sad to see it go... like someone took a big eraser and wiped out a corner.
Only tangentially related is how the gentrification of Queen St. will affect the Rex. The owner of the Rex could retire for several lifetimes if he sold that property, and he hasn't yet. I wonder what the future holds. Hopefully it won't burn down.
