Today we head out to Essex County and this view that was captioned as the “Famous Maple Arch of Division Street, Kingsville”.
A neat old look back to some of the sites outside of the city.
Election Day today. Make sure you get out and vote!

This is a view of Division Street South. This site documents the history of many residences along this street. http://divisionoftime.ca/
It’s unfortunate more of an effort has not been taken to maintain this tree canopy. Nowadays there are large gaps where trees have not been replaced because of the installation of large driveways or simple laziness I suppose. A proper tree canopy takes work and vigilance to maintain, it doesn’t just happen on its own. Of course we cannot be too hard on Kingsville this is a problem that plagues most municipalities.
Agreed WindsorShane. I do not understand Windsor’s policy (yes this is Kingsville) of cutting a tree down but if you want it replaced you have to call the city to make sure it is replaced. If not they will not do so. Seems backasswards to me.
