9th picture down, what is it? Looks like it might have been an old hotel of some kind that was converted to apartments. Reminds me of some small town hotels.

As far as I know Douglasm, the place was built as an apartment building. There were a lot of transient resident buildings built around 1920 in the area.

Great shots of a very tidy Canadian town, although Roundup could be used to control sidewalk weeds. You got Roundup in Canada?

Very nice for an older neighborhood, hardly Ghettohood, eh.

jjaba, westsider.

That Windsor Ghettohood remains me of Detroit in the 1920s. I like where the folks in Windsor keep up with the property. Violent crime is almost non-existant that you can unlock your front door and don't get robbed.

Must be great Danny to live in a fantasy land.

In real life I have two large abandonned buildings, directly across the street from me, and a parking lot used by hookers and drug dealers. Robberies are common, and just yesterday 4 block from me there was an armed robbery, last year there was a murder one street west, three blocks north.

While not commonplace, violent crime does occur.

Aiw,

The photography hides any of that well. It also looks rather tropical for this time of year in the W or the D.

We will need to see more of these in the coming months.
