This factory at 1415 Janette at the corner of Jannette and Ellis, has always made me wonder what it used to be.
I recently came across this photo in an ad in the Windsor Star from 1955, showing the new Canadian Plant of Tums. Who knew that Tums were once made in Windsor? The factory is a nice mid century industrial design, and is still in use today as Arrow Mailing.

I know this man who lives on Crawford Ave between University and Riverside Dr....his home is very old and he has a garage in his backyard that was once a Tums Factory he claims? why because he dug up so many dark blue glass bottles that read TUMS! something to look into if your interested>>> I will try and get a hold of him and take pics ok?
That. Or a previous owner had a history of bad chronic indigestion.
Interesting to note the former Catholic school board building next door now looks like crap. An ugly chain link fence around part of it, grass not getting cut on a regular basis, weeds sprouting everywhere.
Allahu akbar I guess.
Windsor certainly is changing.
I attended St. Clare from 1971 - 79. That awful chain-link fence was there from my first day in kindergarten. The only thing missing is the two maple trees which died shortly after I graduated. Just thinking out loud here, but I don't think that is Allah's fault.
