Skyway Lawn Equipment was torn down this week, been there for a long time.

NO WAY.......
WHY??????
Are they gone, or are they going to rebuild again? Wasn't it still a pretty new building?

I believe the new owner lives next door in the new house and they are building medium density housing in that lot. It was there for as long as I can remember and I grew up at that end. (And I'm old)

I know it was there forever. I thought they just renovated the building not to many years ago.

So sad to see all the things that mark the beach, going away.

I remember as a kid, myself steve laing, martin clark, john and david coupland, as well as my brothers and others im sure. We used to raid the junk bin they had out back of building to get parts for various go karts. Not to mention the millions fo times we had to hop the fence of the compound because our tennis balls would go into it. usually from one of my "mike palmateer" style saves in net during one of our too many to mention ball hockey games there. great memories

When I played ball hockey there, the fence wasn't even there yet, many years earlier.

LS, they did renovate somewhat, the main building was spuced up a bit and the owner put in an addition on the north side, it is still shown in the after pic. I guess the new owner will use that as a building office.

New sign up this week, they will be building townhouses there, I guess we will see how crowded it gets down here.
