Many of the business which once lined Dundas Street in East London are gone and the former stores are boarded up. Murals soften the boarded-up-building look but the economic damage to the East London community is in no way mitigated.
East London, once a rival to the downtown commercial core of London, is today an example of an urban renewal disaster. After a million plus dollars were expended by the city on the area, it is no closer to being a thriving commercial area than it was some decades ago. In fact, it could be argued that the area is testing new lows as it continues its downward spiral. Very sad.

A bit like the mall in Handen where I never shop.
That is troubling.
