Probably not, as we spent quite a bit of time there last year. Although if it's a popular demand, I suppose.

Border City Boy · #22 Posted **Apr 26, 2008, 2:10 AM**

I'm going to put my trust in the Hammer-ites on here to come up with a suitable agenda.

I'm trying to drag a few Windsorites up with me, but we'll see. I suspect I'll be coming up solo. I woudn't mind checking out the Serbian (?) church on Barton too. Maybe we'll/I'll have time to scoot over before or after our meet up.

Quick question? Where is Ferguson Station?

Also when did the H.M.P. building get knocked down? I am in Hamilton and I walked over to the Convenetion Centre this AM and noticed it was gone... It was here at this time last year, as I remember taking pictures of it...

Ferguson station is located at the ferguson and king intersection in international village. Can't really miss it when your there.

Cheers

I'll be there... holding a sign that says "Lafonda".

Yep, right on the corner in the middle of all the train themed stuff. Theres a mural of a steam train accident on a wall across the street from where we'll be. The new 11 story Terraces building is also right to the East of it. Look for the crane

Side-note: weather is supposed to be shitty but the meet will go on anyway. We'll just spend less time at the "station" if it's actually raining.

Border City Boy · #27 Posted **May 2, 2008, 12:30 PM**

Sounds good. I'm looking forward to it.

I'll look for the "lafonda" sign

See you guys tomorrow.

raisethehammer · #28 Posted **May 2, 2008, 1:00 PM**

too bad the weather's gonna suck.

Jon Dalton · #29 Posted **May 2, 2008, 1:04 PM**

Hey, I don't know any of you dudes but I'm probably going to show up.

Shitty weather = good photo opportunities so not all is lost.

Border City Boy · #30 Posted **May 2, 2008, 1:32 PM**

I agree. So the weather is a little lousy... most of the photos will be indoors too.

Should make for a different view on things.

highwater · #31 Posted **May 2, 2008, 2:03 PM**

I'm planning on being there, but I'm bringing my son, so if it's really torrential we'll probably take a pass.

It looks like it's going to be quite the turn-out.. regardless of the crappy weather.

I guess we'll throw a list together of the most wanted, and decide from there. From my understanding, there are about 10-20 other urban explorers attending, ontop of the 5-10 from SSP.. so, there might be a bit of choas when it comes to decisions.

Keep in mind, that Doors Open runs both Saturday, and Sunday.. Sunday is calling for sunny skies, and 17C. So, if you miss out on something on Saturday (due to weather, or group decisions), you can always go the next day.

matt602 · #34 Posted **May 2, 2008, 9:21 PM**

I'll be writing up and bringing a list of the locations, then naming them off and seeing what is popular when we meet up. I've got my own suggestions (Fire Hall no. 1 and possibly the armories on James North again).

holymoly · #35 Posted **May 2, 2008, 10:00 PM**

Are you guys planning to do the rounds on bike, foot, car, other....? Not sure if I should drive in, with the foldy in the trunk, or GO Bus into town. (Actually, I'm not sure if I can make it at all, but just in case....)

matt602 · #36 Posted **May 2, 2008, 11:19 PM**

We'll walk to whatever we can downtown, then either take vehicles to other locations or get on the bus. I'd like to do the latter because I think it's fun for out of towners. I doubt it'll be a popular suggestion though... it also can take awhile. Time will be precious tomorrow.

flar · #37 Posted **May 3, 2008, 4:55 AM**

I want to meet up with you guys but I might not be able to make it, I'm going to try though.

Border City Boy · #38 Posted **May 3, 2008, 11:12 AM**

I'm getting ready to roll out of Windsor. See you guys at 11:00.

SteelTown · #39 Posted **May 3, 2008, 3:31 PM**

Erm probably too late to say but I won't be able to attend. Sorry about that!

LikeHamilton · #40 Posted **May 4, 2008, 11:55 PM**

So did anyone go? Any pictures or reports.
