The site where Grace Hospital once stood is now wiped bare, and the grassy lot gives no clues to what was once there.
Back in time a decade to 2004, and the same corner, it’s hard to remember the massive complex that stood on the same site. It’s a shame all those trees were lost.
Hope everyone had a nice long weekend.

Amherstburg is really bad for that, they tear down house's for various reasons and take down the old growth trees with them, the lots sit vacant and so do the stumps...
After what weve seen on this corner for the last couple of years it's hard to believe just 10 years ago the hospital looked this good
It looked that "good" from the outside. I worked there, around that time. It was a shell of its former self. Only a few floors and areas were used. The rest was storage, and left to rot, largely. It was the last place I saw ashtrays outside the elevators, though not still in use.
You mean it hasn't been turned into a parking lot yet?!
They should at least turn it into a park lot. "Salvation Army Grace Park" would be nice. Plant some trees, put in some benches, etc.
Lou Vozza Park? Ok all kidding aside, I'm sure that every day when the long suffering residents in the homes facing the former Grace site walk out of their front door, they smile.
Lots of drug houses in the area. Sure they don't care what's across the street.
At least put some trees on the University Ave side. Sad....
Would make a great space for some summer festivals... at least utilize the space until something (if anything) is built?
the city doesn't do a real good job of maintaining the parks we already have so I don't think a park would be the ideal idea a spot for festivals of some kind seems like a good idea
