1 The Sherbrooke Hotel on Thu Jul 23, 2009 6:05 pm

This eyesore is clearly out of place in the thriving area of West Broadway/Wolseley. Cafe's, Diner's, and even condos are popping up all around it. Who is going to buy this piece of garbage hotel, and turn it into something that benefits the neighbourhood?
Can't anyone step onto the plate and convert it into condo's, or just raze it to the ground. it is the last obstacle in making the area a great place to live.

Hahahah.....we used to call it the "Westmonster".......they never carded us there. It was a cool place to have a pitcher of draft and they would play movies on a large screen....the bikers loved it when they played Mad Max or Road Warrior.....then over the years it became a dive.....shame.

You know, if they keep cleaning up all these dives, there will be no interesting places to drink.
