Lakeshore Gentrification

Seems that a fair-bit has changed down the old Lakeshore strip in Etobicoke over the past 3-4 years. Many of the great 1960′s motels that used to welcome people to Toronto for the night have been torn down to make way for condos. Shame really as they remained in business for almost 50 + years. As of August 2011, only one motel remains and even the giant office park and industrial buildings a bit further up have been demolished to make way for a deluge of condos. Only two large sites remain (one industrial and the other infrastructure related) however they are still operating in the center of this massive development.
