Leftover shot from a few weeks ago.

Looking east, just west of Kipling and north of Dundas. New Etobicoke Civic Centre under construction in the centre.

For a city that no longer exists?

No seriously. It doesn't exist. And why don't wouldn't you have this for other amalgamated cities where the former municipalities originated as actual towns which are much more visible (e.g: Woodbridge, Stoney Creek), and whose sense of independence is taken a lot more seriously even by non-locals?

Sir, you have the wrong room. I'm just a guy that takes aerial photos when I have time. The ins and outs of the amalgamation debate I moved past circa 1998.

Former General Electric Lamp plant site in Oakville after demolition in 2011. The office building was declared a heritage building so it remains. I found it very odd that the interior lights were on at night until a couple of years ago and you could see in while driving past it on the QEW.

Drove by here today and was surprised to see that work has begun on developing this parcel of property for a new Access Storage location.

In such proximity to the GO station, sad!
