As we're halfway through winter here are some random photos I took during the summer of 2011.

Industrial park on Joseph Guibord - Saint-Michel
Regular VM contributor Denis Heraud send me this series of photos of a massive Industrial park that's abandoned/closed and was set to be demolished as part of the 2025/carrière Sain-Michel project but according to La Presse the project as been shelved for now. I wasn't aware that the 2025 project extended all the way to Saint-Michel. Lady Sandra and Electroline Equipment Inc were based there. According to Denis, Electroline Equipment Inc are now located in Ville Saint-laurent.
Here's a link to a PDF file of the now shelved project.
The question is: if the project is cancelled or shelved indefinitely then what will they do with the sizable piece of real estate?
Amazing job Denis!

The image above is from the PDF file showing what the carrière Sain-Michel project would have looked and in red is where the industrial park was. The image below is from Google Maps and again in red is the abandoned industrial park area.

Clinique Médicale de L'Ouest - Verdun
One day, the building that once housed the Clinique Médicale de L'Ouest on Verdun st in Verdun was there and the next day, the building was completely gone. Ok, I'm exaggerating but this is one of the fattest demolitions I've ever witnessed. The Clinique had been there for decades but they relocated on Bannantyne street a few years ago and the building had been empty for some time but wow, they really wanted this building to be gone.
Vanishing small house on Galt st - Verdun
A small house was demolished on Galt street in Verdun. The house next to it was for sale and was sold (last photo)...so I don't know if they'll demolish that one too.

Car sales building - Verdun
The structure above was one part of three structures for a Volkswagen auto sales business on Verdun street in Verdun. The Volkswagen business closed a long time ago and all three structures have been empty/abandoned since the closure. I recently passed by there and these days there's a used car business located in the main building (not pictured) but one the other two structures, pictured above, was demolished (below).
The second structure, a garage for the former Volkswagen business seen in the last photo, is still empty. That photo was taken in the summer of 2010.
Used car business closed - Verdun
This used car business closed late last summer. It's situated on Blvd Lasalle in Verdun. I haven't been there since the time I took the photos so I don't know what's going on but it's most likely going to be replaced by some new condo project.
Reno/reconstruction on Strathmore - Verdun
The dilapidated house (below) was being replaced or renovated on Strathmore street in Verdun. I'll check out soon to see if it's completed but I sorta liked the unfinished new look.
