This weekend saw the end of the line for the Mother’s/Joker’s complex.
The front cuved entrance came down about 10:30 am on Saturday.
One little section remained when I left on Saturday.
While I was there shooting, they were wasting no time in cutting up the steel.
Now we wait and see what, if anything replaces it.

Unbelievable! They're pretty quick to act on wrong decisions, aren't they.
I say we get the rest of Windsor designated a heritage site. there can't be much left any longer....
If only our council and mayor were that quick with their decision making to BUILD up Windsor and not build OUT.
The new home of Mega Shawarma .
I used to live in the Elite building with a balcony facing this corner. Although these photos break my heart, thank you for posting them. She was one of my favourites.
Was Gilley's Cue in the upstairs of this place? I seem to remember going there in the mid 80's.
just wanted to let you know ford is back at it again. 4 or more pieces of machinery there today working on breaking up stuff.
Sam....I heard it was going to be a Burger King with a Drive thru....
Now, why would it be a Burger King with a drive thru when they already got approval to demolish the Top Hat for a Burger King with a drive thru. It's not like they get anywhere near the drive thru traffic that Tim Horton's does.
My guess is it will be a combination Tim Horton's/Wendy's similar to the restaurants in the US. They are both controlled by the same company and the Wendy's building on Ouelette is outdated.
What a shame they couldn't have preserved that amazing frontage, at least.
Whatever they build there, it will doubtless have a lovely layer of smooth stucco sheathing. Gah.
