Well, I missed out on this shit. Should have made well on the planned trips earlier in the winter.

indeed 
when you are here, you wish you were there. but once you're there, it soon becomes a here, and you again wish to be there instead of here...

Well. The email that my friend received about two weeks ago (as a representative of a national media outlet) from the ORC was that they own the property, they are leasing some of it at the moment to the OPP, the main building is not in use. There are several parties interested in the property, and that the fate of the buildings was as of yet uncertain, with no definitive plans for demolition or preservation. And her request for information was specifically about the fate of the land and the facilities.
We were by there over the 'family day' weken and the place was solid as a rock, no demo signs, no dumpsters around it, nothing out of place. Just the same boarded up beast.
So, unless someone shows me a pile of rubble with a now beautifully exposed view of the lake, I'll stay skeptical.
If it gets demo'd in the next little while or has been, well then Axle, I owe you a Coke.

| | | | Nope no joke, went up there at the end of February drove up to the building that is now super sealed up and almost instantly was stopped by an OPP officer (the gate is now down so you can drive right in). Chatted with him for a bit and he said that at the beginning of March they we're coming in to implode the building (he, the other explorer and myself thought it was a little strange that they we're blowing it up when there reason for taking it down was asbestos and decay, guess most of that will be absorbed by the lake), they already had some of the equipment there.
Intending to go up in the next couple of weeks to see if it's truly gone, but pretty sure it is by now! The cop didn't seem to be feeding us a line, he gave us all kinds of details on the building, we're they moved there K-9 training to now and other historical etc. info.
Sorry guys pretty sure it's gone but I'll go and check in the next few weeks and post pics.

That's really bizarre. I may owe Axle a Coke ;)
It just makes no sense that the ORC would send back a completely different story regarding the fate of the facility. Something is whack here somewhere. I need proof dammit. PROOF!

BTW, to those that missed it, you didn't really miss much. Lots of empty halls, peeling paint, not a whole lot else.

LIES! the San was so much more than empty halls and peeling paint...
those who have been more than once definitely know that.
i am sad to see her go.

1) How many times I've been there have nothing to do with anything, that's just territorial pissing. (I have been there more than once, not that it matters)
2) To anyone that hasn't been there, MRC is just empty halls and peeling paint. Your sentimental attachment to a personal experience there (or mine for that matter) doesn't mean anything to a random person moaning about having missed out on wandering through an empty brick building. To those that have been there, of course it's more than that, but to someone that hasn't, it's an empty shell and nothing more. Think of it like a graveyard: if it's got your family in it, then it's a personal sanctuary which you treat reverentially, because you've got emotion and personal connection to it, mixed up with all sorts of memories and sentiment. If nobody you know is buried there, it's just bones, boxes and maybe some photogenic headstones. Sure, you're going to treat it with some respect, but it doesn't really mean anything to you. See what I'm getting at here?
yep. |

i don't think she was saying anything about how many times you, specifically, have been there.. i took it to mean that to the people that liked the place, it was worth going more than once...

Yeah, I can see you taking it to mean that. Although I'm pretty sure that's not what it was meant to mean originally, but, as the kids say, whatever. No skin off my ass.
I took what I wrote to mean that for people that haven't been to the place, it should mean nothing more than peeling paint and empty hallways. That's all.
So did anyone figure out who's lying? Is the place miraculously rubble in an incredibly short amount of time, or did Axle sort-of-not-really pull off the most awkward, poorly executed (and early) April Fool's joke in uer history?
yep. |

i see your point... but isn't that the same as saying 'brickworks is just steel beams and bricks" or "lister block is just empty offices"
these places have meaning to us all for different reasons, why does there have to be something over the top spectacular to make it worthwhile?
