It is a historical institution that will be gone forever. People like the nostalgia. It is easy to be objective and all when you don't have any emotional attachment. That's all we are saying. I for one will stop commenting because my thoughts are falling on deaf ears. And as I said before, I have gotten to know the Barbers over the years. I reached out and asked them about talks and warnings. They advised me they had no notice. But if the Record says they had warning then they must have. Funny how when ThThe Record reporreports on some subjects people here are quick to say they are terribleterrible reporters but on a subject like this, your willing to treat a story as gospel
The historical instituion, istm, is A barber shop in the Walper. If the current operation is replace by another, more upscale, barber shop, the historical institution is maintained, no?
the walper hotel has indeed been there for well over a hundred years and it has seen many barbers in that time. I am sorry that this has happened, however, Perimeter has invested a lot of money to update the property and they are only looking to enhance the property for the market. Why would someone be upset about them spending money to improve there investment? Should we also be sentimental about all the other institutions that have fallen by the wayside such as Budd Canada, Schnieders, Lear Seating etc? We all have fond memories about things that are considered special to us, such as Goudies or the Eaton Center at King and Water (later Market Square). When do we say, lets move on?
