Okay, WHY in the name of God, is Greenvale School STILL standing?!
For Cryin’ out loud, the place is in such total disrepair,
plus the fact that it’s taking up valuable space where other more FUNCTIONAL buildings could be…such as new condos!
God Almighty, if my bank wasn’t on that street, or one of the buses I ride on, didn’t go up past that friggin’ dump, I wouildn’t have to worry about looking at it! It makes me want to hurl my lunch!!
If a house was falling into that kind of disrepair, or if it was a drug den, it wouldn’t be allowed to stand the way it is!
If finances could allow for renovations,it could be done.
Maybe.Maybe not. Why keep a REALLY old school standing, if no purpose is intended for it anymore?
I’m only going to say this once more, and ONCE only…
Demolish it with a wrecking ball and bulldozer, or burn it down! There’s no hope for it!!

You’re right, that’s exactly what HRM needs; more over priced condos.
I believe HRM had entered into a sale/development agreement regarding that property and the purchaser found some unmarked HRM-owned sewage line running across the property and HRM wouldn’t relocate the line to allow for the access public works would need. So I think its stuck in limbo right now, the developer now owns a property that HRM won’t let him work on for fear of crushing/damaging the said sewer main.
your headline says it all, you ass. its historical. one of the oldest buildings in the HRM. Maybe you should do some research.
I couldn’t agree more with the poster. That building has sat derelict for longer than I’ve been alive… I grew up in that neighbourhood. I’m sure you can thank Phillip Pacey and the Heritage Trust or some similar fuck-nuts for the current state of affairs.Maybe some aspiring young arsonist out there will take care of it for us!
