My favorite part was the garbage shoot.. Its looks like one of those old school carnival slides.. I was tempted to slide down it, but I would rather not find out where it goes..

I'm also curious to see what it looks like inside the Church of the Firstborn, where this meeting is being held!

| | | | Some of you guys take AMAZING photos. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, maybe I'm just super nooby. I made my own post because I didn't wanna attach 20 pictures to someone elses post. I hope to meet some of you again at the next meet, and I hope there isn't any climbing this time LOL that was definitely an adventure.
Do not worry if you have built your castles in the air. They are where they should be. Now put the foundations under them. |

| | | | Interesting..
# Residential: 1500 additional people to live here
# Northernmost part of property (west side of Perth Ave.) to be residential, 3-4 stories, townhomes or stacked towns.
# Will there be "affordable housing"? No plans currently for subsidized housing, but will plan to be "affordable to own".
# Will family units be available? Yes, 2 bedroom plus den, 3 bedroom, townhomes, etc. available.
Townhouses? Really? Its all industrial around there! I can't say I'm the least bit suprised that the facades facing Perth will be torn down. They have been sitting half exposed for more then 18 months now.

The townhouses on the west side of Perth Ave. make sense. That part of Perth Ave. already has residential (detached/semis) on the east side. Streetview:

It doesn't sound like it's the exposure to the elements that will be the downfall of the facades. It just that they have to dig soil out from underneath that whole area in order to clean out the contaminants. They have always wanted to keep the facade and the chimney, but unfortunately it now looks like the facade will go away, and the chimney is looking less certain.
Other types of housing (i.e. condos / lofts) would be built into the rest of the mixed-use development.

I was being somewhat sarcastic about the facades being torn down. Seeing as how the plant has had all sorts of metal production over the past 80 or so years, I seriously doubt the developer did not know the level of contamination in the first place.

| | | | The houses in the area by far outnumber the industry.... the factory to the west is all condo's. Look at it on google maps...
