New life for empty and historic downtown Windsor buildings

[Magnatomicflux]

Looks like the holes will start being filled in Windsor's core within the next year, as the University and St. Clair begin moving upwards of 2000 students into underused and empty building in the downtown core.

The buildings include the Windsor Star's historic office block on Ferry Street

They have renovated the building across the street, looking north, into a media arts center.

The Capitol Theater is also being looked at by new tenents....non school related however

Who knows with the way this city works. But I hope it all turns out for the best.
