I notice that the Queen Street United Church complex is now marked SOLD. Anyone know who bought it? A member of the ratepayer's Association got a very rude reply from the committee of the Church when the Association tried to have some constructive input into the reuse of the church, so stopped trying. Maybe the new owners will be more receptive. How this complex is used will have a major impact on the area for generations to come.

Jason - I heard it was going to be converted into a night club, for young yuppies and local liberal arts members to hang out at.
