July 18, 2011. Looking through the window of one of the vacant studio spaces at Planet Storage (formerly Viceroy Rubber), Dupont St. at Dundas St. West.
Reminds me of my "Filth Trees" window photo at Tower Automotive, which I like much better than this one.

Ontario Redi-Mix, as seen from the park

Another exterior shot of Ontario Redi-Mix on Wade Ave. This is the view from Erwin Krickhahn Park on Rankin Cres. in the Junction Triangle.
It will be interesting to see if this place gets re-used (doubt it), pillaged and vandalized (probably), and eventually torn down to be replaced with something better (probably, but who knows when?).

View from Ontario Redi-Mix

Looking down from the upper level of the vacant Ontario Redi-Mix plant on Wade Ave. There's a decent view of the surrounding area up here: The Redi-Mix gravel yard, GO Transit's Barrie Line tracks, and over into Erwin Krickhahn Park in the Junction Triangle. Probably an even better view from up on the silos. :)

Danger: Deep Water

I was taking a photo of this sign at the vacant Ontario Redi-Mix plant on Wade Ave., when a fellow explorer/photographer walked into the frame. I actually like this photo much better than the one I was trying to take.

The gravel yard at Ontario Redi-Mix on Wade Ave., near Bloor and Lansdowne. The shovels remain where the former employees left them at the end of their final shift.

Years of encrusted concrete dust
Thu, 2010-08-12 06:00 — vic
Exploring the vacant Ontario Redi-Mix concrete facility on Wade Ave., near Bloor and Lansdowne. Much of the site is completely encrusted with many years worth of concrete dust, often settling into really interesting patterns and shapes, especially under the silos where the concrete was pumped into cement trucks for delivery.
