Mar 17th, 2017: Leslie Spit Brick Beach
Say that three times fast.
Up in the Great White North, there’s town called Toronto on the shore of pond called Ontario. Back in the ‘50s anticipating becoming a large shipping port when the St. Lawrence Seaway opened in ’59, Toronto built a 5 km(3.2mile) spit out into the lake at Leslie street. This was to be a breakwater and room for additional docks. That didn’t happen so the spit grew over with about 400 species of plants including Cottonwood and Poplar trees, then wildlife found it, rabbits, turtles, and birds galore, Then people found a nice place to visit. Of course real estate developers found it but the people got organized and told them to fuck off… ...politely of course, this is Canada after all. The City reserved the southern end for material storage, so when it was their turn to catch the urban renewal bug they had a storage place(dump). Quote:
But the city wants to hang onto the tip... just the tip, I swear. link
