Goodbye...

Demolition Man...

I have to keep reminding myself that I don't actually own any of the buildings that I explore, but sometimes I can't help but become attached to them, even shit holes like the former Park Plaza Hotel in Oakville. It sort of became my own personal abandonment since I work right across the road from it. I first checked it out late one night coming back from a church event, and then a second time with friends Wu and Boffo on a cold and snowy evening. The place was gutted and ripped apart inside, trashed by local kids and teens or druggies. But it became the spot for me to flee from the work of the day on my lunches, I'd find a spot in one of the rooms, overlooking the overgrown section in the centre of the building where the pool was, and enjoy the quiet.

Not so much anymore.

They've been finally starting the demolition on my hotel, replacing it with a big commercial building. So much for that idea.
