This Soccer Club and Sports Bar, which has sat vacant for over a year, is beginning to deteriorate. Inspectors for the municipality it sits in have determined that the building "has no residual value to the city" (READ: "the extensive soccer fields can support a full residential subdivision, and we need to get on this while the housing boom is hot") and therefore it has been recommended that it be demolished. A demolition date has been set for this October and a London-based company has been hired to do the work. Until the end of September, Fire and Emergency Services will be using the building for new recruit training.

I recently stopped by here to check papers posted in the windows for contact information, as I was going to make a legit request to the PO for permission to shoot the buildings before the autumn demolition. However, a quick circle of the perimeter was enough to realize that if you're willing to walk through the entire length of the pitch black indoor sports field, an adjoining door is insecure. As if that kind of dark, scary walk is going to stop any of us!

Wow, I wonder what happened to cause them to shut it down. One of my college professors was largely involved in this club and he always spoke of the club with such pride.

Another great find as always!

LOLOL I was thinking that as I typed the comment, but I don't want to believe that's the case!
