Is it just an illusion or is the building actually touching the grain elevators in that first pic?
Oooooh , first dibs on that balcony,lol. It really does appear that way though, it's just too bad this isn't tall enough to block the view of that eyesore.
My daughter went to pre-school inside the evacuation radius... when they had that minor fire back in 2003ish I had to get there to get her out. The cop was not going to let me through, until he saw the look on my face - I was going in anyway! :/
Here is my serious question though... why are they not painted? By-law says stuff needs to be maintained, that has not been painted in at least 22 years. I know it would cost them a lot of money but do we have standards, or not? Is it exempt as it is in the Federal port or something?
Sue Uteck lives across the street, I imagine if she could get them painted she would have done something about it.
I agree, this one is coming together nicely. When viewed from the street it does feel like an old warehouse that has been turned into lofts, which I think really fits with this part of town and the grain elevators next-door. Even if the balconies take away from that look a bit, I'd love to see more of this type of in-fill around the neighbourhood.
