The burnt remains are all now bulldozed over..I recall delivering the mail here back in 1993..Brings back memories indeed..I now have a melancholy feeling...:(
does anyone know if the fire was set by someone or if it just happened without any human interference ?

looks like it burnt down, does anyone have nay information on how/why it burned down?
yes it is...won't divulge how i got in on a public location, but suffice to say i wish i had worn gloves.
It was trippy up there for sure. Wish I had more time to spend there. Just a tad high traffic though! To get inside the ball (hahahaha) you are definitely going to be making the acquaintance of lots of broken glass.

Located on the east side of Simcoe St., north of Taunton Road - was a driving range. The property was known as "Pleasure Valley Ranch" It was part of a circuit in 1952 that included the tracks at Port Bolster, Streetsville and Orillia. It Closed in May of 1953 after only 3 se
I saw some renovation or construction trucks/vans there before. if I get the time and they're still there, I'll take a picture of it. I'll keep an eye on it for the next month til I go back to Trenton and see what they do with it
I go by this place all the time, even though I never went there, i was sad to see it close because I remember seeing people having a good time there

It was time for this place. The people running it in its later years seemed to be nice and the golf course was cute. But the building was ugly and had very strange interiors. As the late Jonny would say "it was an ugly building".
