The group of artists collaborating on BrokeDownTown have spent the past few months exploring the stories and ghosts behind one of downtown Sudbury's most historic buildings: 67 Elm Street. Formerly home to Silverman's Department Store, the self-proclaimed "Greatest Store in Northern Ontario." The building is now occupied by Querney's Office Plus, itself a family owned business.
