Etobicoke - Humber Bay Shores

[Towered]

Bishop Allen high school on Royal York north of the Queensway:

Etobicoke School of the Arts. Yes, that's the track...

Mimico Creek.

Park Lawn and Berry Rd. The area is full of these 50's cubes which I personally can't stand.

The Queensway. Squint and you can see Bay-Adelaide!

Loved finding this abandoned public washroom on the bike trail behind the sewage treatment plant. Looks straight out of 50's sci-fi pop culture. A real shame the city has left it to rot.

The bike trail under the railroad, Gardiner, and Lakeshore Blvd. Real creepy place even during the day. It seemed much darker than it looks on the pics.

Only three motels are still open on this famous stretch...

Someone forgot their couch...

Someone save the vitrolite!

These two motels are probably gone by now.

Another hideous condo going up to go along with the rest, with tons more to come!

Thanks for the pictures. I need to get off the QEW/Queensway/Lakeshore once in a while to take a look.

I wonder if the Vitrolite will be saved. Someone has to talk to the owner about that. It would be a shame if the tiles ended up smashed.

Think the TTC would be interested?

Thanks for the pics!

Truthfully, I rarely see this part of Toronto except from the QEW as I head downtown. Is this area run down, or are all these motels being demolished to make way for more development?

I wasn't aware that this area in Etobicoke was so rundown. I could be wrong. Feel free to clear this up for me!

It's not rundown. Some of the photos were from an old motel that is going to be demolished for a condo, while the vandalized washroom isn't really that noticeable behind the treatment plant.
