This is a perfect example of what Jane Jacobs was getting at when she said that new ideas require old buildings. If you can’t see the video below, click here. When I watched it, I got stuck watching 3 pre-roll ads. Sorry if that happens to you as well. //www.cbc.ca/i/caffeine/syndicate/?mediaId=924601923901
