Interesting.
Over by where I live, a hardware store blew up on Christmas eve of 2002 ( i believe). It was arson. One of the perpetrators died at the scene. This was Woodbine Building Supply / Home Hardware on the Danforth at Woodbine. There is still a double or quadruple lot hole in the ground on this stretch of the Danforth.
Apparantly the owner wanted to collect insurance money in order to open a night club in Oshawa or Whitby.
Last month, the Cheers bar one block west of the above (near to Coxwell & Danforth) collapsed suddenly. Cheers was undergoing renovations at the time, and it looks like 'something' happened. This is now a hole in the ground.
Between these two sites sits a store that inexplicably closed (Comics & More) and has a 12 ft high wire fence erected around its corner lot. It appears to be abandonned since last summer.
Another block west along the Danforth sits the derelect site of the KFC restaurant which has been abandoned since the early years of this century (2001 -ish).
Add to this yet another site of abandonment: at Danforth and Greenwood, only another block west, sits the old Esso station and movie theatre nextdoor. It's been empty for about 5 yrs.
So, something tells me that there is strangeness afoot. Is it all economically driven?
