  2. I’m not surprised that Pages cannot pay the rent on that street. Inconvenient for the owners of one of this city’s few good bookstores (though could use seating, IMO) to have to move, but Queen and the Entertainment Dist. is for tourons and 905ers: too crowded with louts. Queen ain’t what it was when Pages started.

    Have to imagine that rents at Bloor/Ossington, or even the west side of Bloor/Bathurst would be cheaper, and the former is an area where real artists and students might afford to live… kind of like Queen was when Pages opened.

  3. $150,000 a month rent? That’s almost two million a year, and over $400 for every hour that Pages is open. You’d have to sell a lot of books to cover a rent like that.

    The Globe should hire a numeracy editor to check any story containing numbers.
