Finally Some Heritage

Some beautiful buildings, just a block from my place. This is the Yorkville Public Library.

And next to it is the lcoal firehall - a working firehall, too.

But what's that poking into the picture on the left. Is it a ....a.....

Oh No!
A construction crane!

More condos!

And It Gets Worse
They've already got one up! And they're not done yet.

Of course, the one I live in isn't really part of this. It is very tasteful. As slabs of conrete go.

Maybe think about joining a historical society this time? I think you'd really enjoy it and ... maybe somehow you can save some of these buildings instead of whinin' 'bout it (only kidding on that last part...) (sort of) (grin)....and you might even meet some fine ol' girl at one of the meetings - oooooh baby!

Great firehall!
You gotta show me it when I'm in town so I can photo it.

You got it, Pontiac. And you, too, Ms. Pontiac.

An old friend used to be president of the Toronto Historical Society or Association. I'll have to see if he has been preserved.
