These Painted Lady pictures were taken last year. You likely know this as there's been no snow so far - there was a fleeting moment in November and it disappeared quickly.
This pretty section of Grimsby is composed of narrow lanes with little Victorian Gingerbread cottages all packed in together. They date back to the late 1800s when first used as summer cottages.
If we travel just a little west and south (away from the lake) the charm of the cottages gives way to houses built in the 1920s onwards. Something I noticed yesterday was how the Grimsby Beach cottage streets are lined with mature trees. But the other sections close to the Lake are missing this feature. It is too bad, as it creates a a more inviting and pleasant environment.
These various home styles come to mind as Grimsby is engaged in building right now. The 5th Wheel truck stop has been sold and will become a condo development. Nearby, at Casablanca will be the condo development called 'Lake House'. And in the last week, an old apartment building on Main Street near us was demolished.
