Photo from the HMCS Hunter Archives
The photo above comes from the Commanding Officer of the HMCS HUNTER. A vintage photo of the Marketorium that is a little better and clearer than the one I posted the other day. It was quite a good looking building in its retail state.
Thanks to everyone for their submissions. I’m always on the lookout for vintage shots from around town too… If you’ve got any older shots of the city in your albums or in your parents albums that you would be willing to share with us, please don’t hesitate to drop me a line – andrew@internationalmetropolis.com
Thanks! Have a great weekend everyone.
Thanks for posting them Andrew! Now the next step is get all those roofs green! Imagine what a garden view it would be if the will was there to do it!
Great pictures Urbanrat!
What a fantastic picture of HMCS Hunter. I never knew they had store fronts on either side of the main entrance. It really is a beauty. Now all we have to do is get better trees and we are all set. 🙂
Urbanrat, I’d like to see a green roof or two also from that vantage point. Perhaps A-channel with their high profile corner and blank topsides could set out to green-up their roofspace – – would be a cool spro to broadcast from and send the right message at the same time.
May issue of Scientific American has a list of some U.S. cities that have green roofs as of 2006: Chiacago, 359,000, Washington D.C 302,000, Dulles Va -230,000, Kansas City, Mo -178,000…..and Windsor Ontario….0, nadda, zilch.
Isnt there a grade school seen from e.c. row… opposite fogolar sort of? I think it has a partial green roof no?
Fasuto, you are correct. There is ONE green roof in Windsor. ONE, and Windsor didn’t build it.
