My wife and I moved to Toronto around 3 years ago to pursue careers in the arts. Toronto was quite intimidating at first but then we found our way down to Queen St. West and 48 Abell St. We now live and work in our studio, and we love the people in the building and the space. The building and community made us feel welcome and part of something. Comming from a city that does not hesitate to tear down its heritage buildings I thought Toronto had a different perspecetive. It is very easy to see that 48 Abell was instrumental in making Queen west what it is today, a safe and vibrant arts community. From this it makes sense that developers would want to move in. But it would be wrong to remove that which created the commuity to make space.
