While zooming around on Google Maps, I recently stumbled upon the destruction of the block of heritage buildings along Colborne street that occurred just 12 years ago. Absolutely shocking, I can't believe they voted for that. They can never get those buildings back, and there were already so many empty lots that would have been prime for development in the city... What the hell were they thinking?? WHY CAN'T WE HAVE NICE THINGS
@@soundboardist I have no doubt many of them were in poor condition, but that can be prevented, and it can be remedied. Clearly, they were not valued, and eventually it was too late and council didn't have the money to keep them.
Those buildings were a crumbling eyesore on the downtown core. It was so bad that Silent Hill was filmed here with little modification cause it already looked suitable for a horror film
Thoroughly enjoyed viewing this TH-cam. History and memories, very nice!

@@TaliyahP You know why urban centres in Europe attract so many tourists? Every time they have an old building in disrepair, they actually repair it!
Thank God. Those old buildings looked like shit!
Brandford? Brantford is the name.
Fixed it.
