Nothing lasts forever.

Maybe this is as it should be.

Perhaps we're long overdue for a fundamental rethink of the value places like this do or do not return to the community when they're built on virtually every available lot.

Perhaps two-plus months away from the ubiquitous pull of Timmies and Starbucks has taught us that life can indeed go on without spending time in the drive-thru line.

Perhaps there's more to life than this. Perhaps Canada needs to move on from assuming this brand was ever a national icon.

Because we can do so much better.
