  Flag poles.

  I may be dense at times, but aren't flag poles normally mounted 'normal' to the earth's surface? Those two at left are so off-kilter it ain't even close to funny.

  They were straight one time. Lack of maintenance has thrown them out of kilter.

  I was talking with a lovely blonde at the Clarington tourism shack at Liberty/401 and she said that even as a kid she recalls that truck stop being abandoned. She said someone then re-tried to start a restaurant there but it failed quickly, to be left rotting away ever since...

  My grandfather, whom drove from CFB Trenton to Oshawa on a weekly basis said that this place has been abandonned since later '79.
