Well the building still stands. Its of a better make then the alu halls they make today.
ReplyDeleteI like the way the wide-angle has given a different perspective on the building.
ReplyDeleteAh yes! One of the results of NAFTA.
ReplyDeleteThat's kind of sad.
ReplyDeleteProgress, right?
ReplyDeleteThat is the first thing my eye caught too, the effect the ultra wide angle lens gave to the building. Looks cool.
ReplyDeleteIt's always a lonely sight to see an abandoned building.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I'd think of it as progress. It's a bit forelorn.
ReplyDeleteNice old building. Sad!
ReplyDeleteThese old buildings are just gorgeous when they are photographed correctly!! I love this picture and that pretty sky!!
ReplyDeleteI'm seeing condos here one day. But, it is always sad to see the loss of manufacturing capacity and jobs.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jack.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Jack too. And based on my recent experience with the quality of products - the kinds of things that used to last decades - I can't say it's a positive trend.
ReplyDeletePort Hope is an old stomping grounds destination for our family passing through by car. .
