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. |
