Leftover shot from a few weeks ago.

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.

Yeah, I know. Such is life right now. I think I might still have stuff from my last flight day, July 7th, I still haven't posted yet.

In the meantime, here is a ground based shot at the Clarkson Crossing plaza (SW corner of Royal Windsor and Southdown) of the former Turtle Jacks and other businesses in that building being demolished. Nothing in the database so I don't know what the plan is for this little strip on the east side. I happened to catch this today while out with my little one at the Canadian Tire. Camp dad for another 11 days but who's counting :)
