The old trailer park in Calgary has sat on the hill just off 16th forever. However, this year was it's last year. The city decided it was time to take the land back and sell it to developers (land was just too valuable I guess.) Unfortunately that meant many people had to move from their homes they had been in for years.
Some of the homes were well taken care of. Others looked as if they were falling apart and rotting through.
I thought I'd wander around the lot and see what I could find - partially to just remember the old place, and partially just to capture the beautiful rot.
The bulldozers just finished their work - and it's pretty much flattened now. I understand the need for progress - as long as we remember where we've come from. I hope all involved were able to relocate successfully.
Sad
What will become of the land then?

Looks like it'll be turned into condos.

Kind of sad to see this place go, my dad lived there for a bit before getting a house in Okotoks.
I like the old style photography for these trailers.

Thanks much. Yeah - it's a bit sad. On the other hand I think some of those places were likely to burn up if they didn't get knocked down.
