5 Buildings that Are not on Doors Open, But should be

Doors Open Halifax  is coming June 7/8. In preparation, we will go through a series of posts highlighting some things to look out for, and what we are going to see.

The organizers have done a good job of assembling an impressive slate of buildings that will open their doors for the public to see. To start the Series, I thought I would make a list of 5 buildings that should be open, but are not.
