As is the current standard I suppose, Ive got this list of things with boards, things with windows, things with power, and some I also believe to be for all intensive purposes and for a lack of a better description, real estate.
THIS IS NOT REAL ESTATE. Oh god, no its not. I float thru the wall, into the collapse and very quickly learned this has been here open to the elements for quite a time. I havent googled the address to see if i could find information on the scale of the kitchen fire. The first apartment (Side One from here out), had the fire, and the basement has what looks to be at least 4-6 inches or more of water in it. The floors are, as I stated when I put the pics on my personal FB, "Softer than a millennials feelings". I wanted something people could envision, and in 2021, I cant think of a better example. Its dangerous. Its probably best in the winter as the floors were creaking and cracking and OH MAN the stairs to the second floor and the second floor itself were BEYOND SKETCHY. Like so many I do, I DONT RECOMMEND THIS. I cant exactly prepare for the unknown and when Im somewhere unless electronics yell at me, I shoot it.
Then there was a hole that an animal (presumably Raccoon) made so this being SO FAR BEYOND ALL REPAIR, forcefully floated thru the hole, enlarging as I crossed the threshold into the second apartment. And upon looking at the street view, there is a sign stating a demolition application has be approved for 91 Louisa. Beyond saving.
Side Two, well if I were this neighbor, Id have killed the one that started the fire as this person had to vacate their unit simply due to the fire and smoke damage and how structurally unstable and insecure it is from the elements. This side, was awesome. So much colors, so much decay, untouched since the place was vacated. Its moldy(Side One as well was clearly). The basement on this side is not flooded (odd). There are C.Ds left behind. VHS movies. A mass amount of hockey equipment, and for nostalgia, a whole team or 2s worth of ministicks. Its interesting to be sure but I wish I hadnt had to cross Side One to get to Side Two.
People sit outside in the backyards. Due to the urban planning in this older area, the parking for houses is fro the laneway, and many people cut thru it to walk and walk dogs and bike. Its a busy spot like just about all the crap I end up hitting. I hate the busy stuff, but that curiosity. I hear it killed the cat. But the cats got 9 lives mannnnn.
