[MidTowner]

I would say that KPMG (that's the "LCBO-to-Scotiabank stretch") in Uptown is an example of how an office need not be unpleasant. The little portico is pleasant to walk alongside- of course, because LCBO and Starbucks are such strong attractions, there's a good chance other people will be walking, too, which is always nice.

But I agree with you, Viewfromthe42, that generally offices setting up in storefronts is not a positive development. I don't think it's seriously out of hand in either downtown or uptown, but it's not something desirable.
