The Vertical Garden at Loyola Park

Opened last summer, here is the vertical garden on 09 October 2025. If the intention was to grow food then it looks like this was a failure; perhaps the growing areas could have been located closer together in order to use the limited available land. 

The Robert Burns Pub

As though it never existed, demolished, removed, trucked away, and a layer of earth smoothed over the old building site. Photographs taken the morning of 01 October 2025.                        

The Robert Burns Pub is no more

 

Nothing left but a pile of rubble. The Robert Burns Pub, demolished earlier this week, and derelict for over a decade, is no more. Now this corner lot is available for condos, stores, apartments, or whatever else someone wants to build here. Photos taken morning of 06 September 2025.

The Hidden Trail, 11 September 2025

 A sunny day, blue sky, and around 22 C. 

Another fire, 14 September 2025

Coincidentally, there was a second fire (this time on Elmhurst Avenue) only two streets over but in the same city block a week after the fire on Westmore; the second fire, five alarms, was in a building that had not been occupied for about fifteen years. No one was injured, the apartment building had been boarded up for many years. It's possible homeless people were in the building.
