Now, not to dissappoint or anything, but this is mostly of a rather selective photographic variety. Some of the "decay" seen here is in construction sites and the like. Oh, and the winter weather and grey skies help make things look scary.
Lots of grit and shit in Taranna. Thanks for the pics.

Fire or a failed re-development scheme is the cause for most of the abandoned buildings in Toronto. I'm pretty sure the first few abandoned are beside George Brown College's St George Campus no doubt a part of any future expansion considerations. The largest concentration of abandoned houses and vacant lots (the grassy SW corner of Parliament & Bloor is not a park) I've seen in the downtown would be the unbuilt northern blocks of St Jamestown. I doubt these blocks will remain "as is" for too much longer with the success of Verve and other nearby condos
Man, if I could spare the bucks (yeah, whoz got em), I'd buy up some of that abandoned shit and sit on it for a few years, for speculation.
