Hamilton's Lister Block, Canada's first indoor shopping mall, is a mess. Occupying prime real estate downtown, the building - with its towering facade and marble floors - has been home only to pigeons for decades.
After countless deals to renovate it have fallen through, the historic building is now caught in a limbo between a provincial government that won't let it be demolished, a municipal government that can't afford to lease the property, and an owner who refuses to sell.
Everyone is watching: governments, communities and developers. What do you think should happen to the Lister Block?
