dave524 Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 (edited) I thought it looked cool? one of those things i look forward to seeing on the way down QEW Guess you don't have to look at a rusted out piece of scrap iron everyday, nothing cool about it, they put shingles on a steel hulled boat and a couple of iron pipes for masts to make it look like an old frigate or something. Maybe we should have some older pimped out cars abandoned in the ditches along the highways cause they looked " CooL ".

BillM Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Anyone remember when it caught fire? LOL!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave524 Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Yeah , but then again I remember when Donnie Campbell had the marina inside the harbour and to get to Lake Ontario you has to go under the QEW bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Ironmaker Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 We have many visits from family in western NY, they all think it's cool too. I know they have used it for a few movie shoots even after the fire. I really don't see the objection to it. A lot less ugly than the thousands upon thousands of billboards on US highways like I 75 and I 95 for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
