Discuss death in a Karaoke Bar with Michael Toke (artist, Bohemian Embarrassment), Margie Zeidler (creator of 401 Richmond) and NYC urban critic and journalist Roberta Brandes Gratz (author, The Living City: Thinking Small in a Big Way). Join the flashlight procession and sing a song to save the Queen. Eulogize a building -48 Abell Street - with artists, residents, and surprise guests. Break a world record while dressed in funeral attire by forming the LARGEST human chain ever around our 118-year old icon to acknowledge (and resuscitate) 48 Abell as an important part of Toronto's cultural heritage.

Come together to wrap your head and heart around Queen Street West (and your arms around a building).
