029 - Roadside Distractions đ
Whether youâre looking out the bus window, catching a glimpse from the car, or cruising by on your bike: London's got it's fair share of curb-side wonder. Hereâs our toast/roast to the "best-of-the-worst" roadside distractions out there.Â
đ§ Construction
Letâs face it, southwestern Ontario winters make âRoadworkâ a season of itâs ownâoften lasting the entirety of Spring, Summer and Fall. Rather than curse the sight of lane-closures, why not take our friends at LondonFuse up on their challenge to race through ugliest part of it all?!
đĽ The Field Where the Embassy Used to Be
The barren field where the Embassy Hotel went down in a blaze of glory is (finally) slated for re-developmentâso get yourself down to 732 Dundas St. soon before thereâs actually something to look at!
đ¤ EOA Sasquatch
Obnoxious? Awesome? We want to believe the newest addition to Londonâs Tree Trunk Tour at 526 Hamilton Rd is a bit of both. Decide for yourself next time youâre cruising through EOA searching for âmythicalâ beasts.
đĄ The Towers of Spite
What list about âthings to seeâ in London would be complete without mention of architecture-as-protest at itâs finest? Located at Huron St. and Audrey Ave, this infamous student housing development reminds us all that trying to please everyone rarely pleases anyone.
