We get some eye-catching photos when old makes way for new. In this image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor flonicky in the Queen & Kingston thread, the demolition of a former motel has been caught shortly after a rainfall when an old tile floor has suddenly become the shallowest of muddy reflecting pools. It's a moment to ponder what the basement room would have looked like when new, and what kind of life it saw. In a couple of years, a 6-storey condo with 90 new dwelling units will stand on this site.
