Our neighbourhood is interesting. Twenty five years ago it was derelict industrial land which became the site of a huge social engineering experiment. The city, province and feds funded a redevelopment that mixed social, market rent and condo housing supported by schools, parks and rec facilities. Much more recently, the old Gooderham and Wort's distillery was revamped into a complex of galleries, retail, eating and performance spaces with a bunch of condo towers around it. Despite these developments, much of the land to the east and south east of here is still wasteland or low grade industrial. They are just starting to develop some of it though exactly what the plans are I'm not sure. Anyway, today I went for a walk with the camera to record some of the renovated/restored areas and some of what's left to do.
