For years, numerous developers have attempted to revitalize the once-bustling hotel. After many stops and starts, it seems the current effort will be fruitful, as work has begun to improve the building’s condition and a permit has been officially grant - ed to the developer. However, just a few blocks away, to the south, stands another historic piece of Oshawa’s history and a reminder of its once thriving industrial sector. The exact address is 500 Howard Street, the former home of the Ontario Malleable Iron Company and Knob Hill Farms. For almost two decades, the building has sat mostly vacant with a few spurts of activity here and there. But that wasn’t always the case. At various points, this building was an epicenter of business in Oshawa, and home to some of the Photo courtesy of jerm IX city’s largest employers.

The thesis explores 'myth-revision' in selected works of Fantasy fiction. Myth- revision is defined as the retelling of traditional legends, folk-tales and other familiar stories in such as way as to change the story's implied ideology. (For example, Angela Carter's 'The Company of Wolves' revises 'Red Riding Hood' into a feminist tale of female sexuality and empowerment.) Myth-revision, the thesis argues, has become a significant trend in Fantasy fiction in the last three decades, and is notable in the works of Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman and Philip Pullman.

  • Is Proud to Be Part of the Removal of the Sam the Record Man Sign. Vaughan, Ontario
    is proud to be part of the removal of the Sam the Record Man sign. Vaughan, Ontario. October 2008. www.gregorysigns.com It’s hard to believe that it’s been a year and a half since it was announced that the legendary record shop would shutter its doors for good. “It’s a great honour to be involved in saving such a great sign and making sure it will be back in all of its glory,” says David Grose, national sales manager with Gregory Signs of Vaughan, which is doing the work. “It’s truly one of a kind.” For decades, two giant neon spinning records served as a beacon to music lovers shopping on Yonge Street. Each “record” has 120 white neon tubes with corresponding transformers and flashing units that make it appear to be spinning. Every tube, bolt and wire as well as the sign’s sheet-metal background will be lowered to the ground and crated. Complicating the work is the fact the two discs—each 7.5 metres wide and 8 metres high—were built nearly a generation apart. The original dates to 1969, the second, just north, to 1987. Neon letters spelling “SAM”—with 550 bulbs—were added atop each disc in 1987, as were back-lit signs, “Yes, this is SAM the Record Man,” below them. While the second disc was largely constructed off site and then attached, the original was crafted by crews on the spot, Grose says. Ryerson lit up the sign for one last time in celebration of Nuit Blanche, an all-night art crawl held across a large swath of downtown Toronto.
