Victory Lost (note the last line)
http://www.eyeweekly.com/details/article/41040
This place is just a few meters away from one of the last remaining legit media retailers in Toronto's downtown Chinatown. Picture in the print version shows a taller view of the building, but I'm still not 100% convinced this was what they say it was, as there's another vacant Golden Harvest theatre just down the road, with the outdoor sign intact no less.
