Is it just me or is Windsor becoming a ghost town? Where the houses aren’t already vacant and boarded up there are for sale signs in front.
Times are tough with factory closings and more and more people laid off. Maybe the new river crossing (if it ever gets sorted out) will turn things around.

The empty houses echo the families that used to live there.

Nice eh? Blighted west-end neighbourhoods with Ambassador Bridge propoganda pasted to the fronts.

The west end always gets neglected and ignored. It’s historically rich and plenty of in-tact ‘built history’ there, and gets no attention or acknowledgment whatsoever, even from the pro-history people in this city. Kinda like downtown before we lost it all.
