Just an opening shot to (hopefully) suck you in...


Into the Mouth of Madness
by Ground State Photos, on Flickr

I binge watched 'Making a Murderer' over the last two weeks, and every time the opening credits rolled and showed the snowy shots of the half-abandoned property, I found myself reminded of this unvisited southern Ontario location. A snowstorm this week gave the perfect cover for approaching this location with some limited visibility between myself and the neighbours.

It is a very similar rural automotive shop and yard, hidden down a short country lane, in a very small Ontario town. This business closed in 1996. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) there is no known interesting back story to this location.

Strange that someone tied a rope to the gas pump in the time between your visits.

Indeed, I was just waiting to see if you would still recognize the place based on that gas pump!

I remember a strange squatter living upstairs who poked his head out for this shot....

Great set as usual. Glad to see you back in the swing of things - we missed your work. Looking forward to more from one of my favorite explorers.




See More on Flickr!
