It`s funny how you can drive by a spot a hundred times and never notice something like this. Burried in a bit of overgrowth my friend and I unconvered an abandoned car garage. Judging by the pop bottles I found lying around it I would guess it was abandoned in the 1950`s, though it is hard to say for sure when.

We were on our way to go explore the Blue Ghost Tunnel and the Screaming Tunnel in Thorold when we spotted this just off a main road. After parking the car at the nearest lot and hiking through dense overgrowth we reached the building. It was hard to find the entrance, and thankfully we were watching our step as we could have easily fallen into what appeared to be either a storm cellar or an old well.

After circling the building we finally found the entrance. We had to climb through the dense overgrowth to get inside, as trees were growing right in the garage doors. Another good indication of how long this building has sat empty. We wandered around the old garage, trying to identify the various things we found lying upon its floors. An old fridge, a sign for the by drive-in theatre, a random rope hanging from the ceiling. Birds swooped at us from above, definding their territory. It looked as though no one had stepped foot in here for quite some time. Although there wasn`t much to see here, it was well worth the effort — definitely worth checking out if you`re in the area.
