irishfield Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 (edited) Third, out of Four, local elevators to bit the dust in recent time. On it's way down this winter... so they can develop the land with most likely some eye sore like the Tiffin Elevator property in the second shot.

Bob Devine Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 I spent a number of summer days swimming the slip as a kid. At the Tiffin elevators we fished, swam and rode our dirt bikes down there lots too. At one time Cdn music legend Gordon Lightfoot parked his sailboat the "Golden Goose" in the Port McNicoll slip. Sorry to see another piece of history leave, the old neighbourhood just doesn't look the same anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted February 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Has it changed much? Here is a PIC from before 15 years ago. Yes.. considering it will be gone by months end! That picture with ships in Port Mc Slip is way older than 15 years old... but a nice shot Carp-starter! The second shot... you can see the round circle foundation of the old elevator to the left of the new condo unit. Wouldn't ya just love to own the house (for $300K) just 70 feet to the right! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Duncan's marina is gone also, I believe they are going to put in housing along the waterfront. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted February 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 (edited) That whole shoreline is going to be developed in Port with eastern oil money! My son's the IT Coordinator for the township of Tay.. I can't say much more. Edited February 7, 2009 by irishfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Oil money from oversea's ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted February 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Ummm.. yes.. from what I understand. Expensive "villas" and multimillion dollar yachts from Dubai etc. Maybe Simcoe county will get lucky and the project will lower everyone else property mill rate! ya right ! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Musky fishermen from Dubai , That whole shoreline is pretty shallow, they would have to go 1/2 way to Methodist Island to get in 9 feet of water ,it will be interesting to see how far they bring the shoreline out.
