|  | | | Who gives a shit. It's all subjective. Let's stick to the facts about the location and whether or not still exists and not start arguing over subjective nostalgia and derail this thread into a l33t pissing contest about awesomeness like the rest of the internet.

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"
|
Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. That's all those places are to anyone that doesn't have some sort of personal interaction with them.
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?
|
You lost my point again - there doesn't need to be anything over the top spectacular for a building to be important to you or I. In the case of MRC, there really isn't. The only thing that makes it worthwhile is having been there. Which means - as I said in my first reply to people that expressed regret about not having been there - getting upset or sentimental about missing out on seeing MRC is pointless. Almost as pointless as trying to explain the notion of being 'unsentimental' to a group of people that idolizes decay.
bourbonbaby, you'll have to excuse us for having a conversation - in a discussion forum - about what makes a building worthwhile. I'm not sure where this pissing contest you mention has taken place, but it's not here. If that's what you're getting out of what I've been saying, then I'm assuming that there's a combination of poor explanation on my part and poor comprehension on your part leaving that impression.
As for 'the facts,' with pretty much every post I've made in this thread I've asked for someone to definitively confirm or deny whether the building's still standing, although that's mostly because I value factual information, not because I feel the need to make another trip up there. So anyways, once again, does anyone happen to know whether Axle or accessgranted is full of shit? Because at least one of them's either wrong or lying.
yep. |

Yeah, yeah, fair enough, that was a bit hostile. I was just a bit worried that a thread that is relevant to my interests was turning into a subjective argument about what makes a location awesome.
I too have the exact same interest in this thread.
DOES
IT
STILL
EXIST???

Yeah, I'm sure it would have looked great having two large surly looking men leading the local mentally handicapped kid into a car with the promise of soft-serve ice cream... I can see it on the front page of the Sun already.

| | | | The Muskoka Sanitorium is owned by the government of Ontario and managed by the Ontario Realty Corporation. A number of groups are interested in the site, but the building has not been demolished. Any future decision regarding its status will be made after the conclusion of an ORC environmental study.

I'd really like to go too. I recently read "A Life Consumed : Lilly Sampson's Dispatches from the TB Front" by Diane Sims.
The book is made up of letters written by a young women who lived at the San for 3 years in the 1920's. She died there is 1927 from TB, but her family saved her letters, and her niece published them into this book.
