Maple Leaf Gardens to a Grocery Store
50 Carlton St M5B 1J2 Toronto, ON, Canada

The reconstruction of Maple Leaf Gardens into the Mattamy Athletic Centre represents the failed attempt to commemorate a legendary Toronto landmark. While bastardizing the legacy through the commercial use of these sacred grounds as a grocery store.

Button.com refers to the reconstruction of Maple Leaf Gardens as "Remodernization". Urban society and developers put a higher value towards modernizing older buildings rather than honouring the foundations of the city. I do not believe we should idealize the defilement of what should be known as a historical landmark. http://www.buttcon.com//maple-leaf-gardens-remodernization/

When asked about the remodeling of Maple Leaf Gardens to Mattamy Athletic Centre, with a look of sadness Dwayne Weir former Usher for MLG replied, "It is what it is."
