I drove by today and the demo crews were in the final stages of tearing down this Hwy 401 landmark just east of Oshawa...

LOL finally. Now I don't have to think about it every time I pass by on the 401.




The sign said "Anybody caught trespassin will be shot on sight"
So I jumped on the fence and I yelled at the house,

I was going to message you about this one! Good to see you are still around

I pass this twice a day and I only noticed they were tearing it down once it was almost all rubble. . . And I never bothered to stop in.

Wasn't worth stopping in at, you didn't miss much but dark empty nothingness.

FEDGE! I noticed this today as well... unbelievable it lasted this long.

It was kind of cool when the whole basement was frozen and we hid a bunch of AvLights (TM) under the ice and made it glow in fancy colours.

Pretty sure this place was abandoned since I first remember seeing it when I was a kid on my way to Ottawa! Amazed they finally got around to demo.

I would say it was finally abandoned in '97- Had to stop there with my parents during a wicked snowstorm in mid April when I was in grade 8. It closed like a week after.

It was definitely really weird to drive by this week and see it gone...so used to it just being there and being a sign of being out of the GTA.

This place closed down waaaaayyy before 1997. I'm 40 now, and I remember it shutting down when I was a teenager. If I had to hazard a guess, it was around 1989-1990. Someone may remember better than me. All I know is it was shut when I got my license at 16.
