Apart from the Dome going up, it&#8217;s a remarkable view of the Entertainment District in the background. Look at all that space and all those parking lots. Long before the condo boom changed the skyline here radically, it was also before Toronto rezoned the area to allow for new uses in those old buildings. When this video was shot, any lofts back there were old-fashioned, ungentrified Queen West lofts. When a &#8220;Queen West loft&#8221; wasn&#8217;t yet a marketing term. No granite counter tops or concierges.
