The times they are a-changin’
If you can get past the boomer nostalgia for the 1960s — “There once was a golden age when culture occurred in the laneways of central Toronto” — Globe and Mail columnist John Barber has written an otherwise excellent column on the ongoing struggle to save Coach House Press from being redeveloped out of business. Seems the University of Toronto organization that owns the old garages that house Coach House is preparing to tear down the buildings to make way for more student housing. Though the organization has offered Coach House office space in the new building, publisher and printer Stan Bevington says the move would never work: “They’re very clear they don’t want the presses in the new building.”
