Located at 2701 Huron Church Rd. is the recently closed Blue Bell Motel.
A long time fixture along Huron Church, the owners recently retired and sold out to the Ministry of Transportation, who bought the place up for the future border road expansion.
The attached motel was the first to close, followed by the restaurant a few months later.
As you can see there was a subsantial chunk of property to go along with the business. I’m sure they made out alright.

Wow...I had no idea the Blue Bell had closed--all the years I lived here I drove past and thought the restaurant was probably a hidden gem that I should try out sometimes--ultimately that never happened. That entire area of SW Windsor is going to change radically in the next few years--take lots of photos now--and imagine in a few years the 401 will be rolling right past there.
