ourists from all over the world flocked to Bens delicatessan in droves, two prime ministers ate their, leonard cohen ate their bette middler ate their, many many celebrities ate there.

It was closed down last year. The property has has been purchased by land developers. They want to tear the building down.

But the building is classic art deco, montreal is known as one of the 10 cities in the world that is famous for art deco, the university of montreal is build in the art deco motif.

There is a petition signed by people from all over the world who do not want the bens building torn down.

Do you think it should be torn down or not?

I do not think that they should be torn down at all..because they are famous landmarks for a reason...I think that when they get so old and they start to become unsafe for people to be aroudn then you just rope that area off and dont let anyone past that area..until it falls...and then it did it by itself..thats my opinion

Hi sister thanks for sharing. No they should not be demolished at all. Here in India the archeological department takes care of the old monuments. Very old buildings are protected by building a boundary wall.

Oh no, no, no. Something like that should never be torn down. It's a part of the town's history. How many signatures are needed to safe it?

I have no idea, the city can still ignore the signatures if they want to.
