Doors Open Ontario- Former Genosha Hotel

        The final event as you probably realize that my dad and I did 3 Doors Open Ontario locations in a day. This one really struck me interested as Genosha Hotel which is now called 70 King was a hotel originally, built in the 1920's, and opened in 1929 if I remember correctly. It was shut down in the late early 2000's and sat almost 2 decades empty and in dire need of a restoration.   

Then it finally reopened in 2019 as Luxury rental apartments which was the reason for the visit, I wanted to see what it looked like and I was immediately wowed with the beautiful marble floors in the lobby. They have a Church's Chicken which is from down in Texas and also there is going to be a lot of chefs they hand picked, Polish food there will be one that is a bit of two different, homemade tacos and many more. I am very, very impressed how the building looks like now. It still has it's original brick on the outside with modern windows and the model apartment was awesome! Very modern and the bathroom was huge! I really love the modern take on the building. I am glad I picked this one to see what it looks like. Anyways that wraps up for our 4 events we went to and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Doors Open Ontario- Local Shipping

            First of all apologies for a very late blog today, overslept and got busy with other things but tomorrow I will be sure to be more on time tomorrow for sure. Anyways Doors Open Ontario, locally for us, I got to walk on the shipping area which is normally restricted but this was a special moment for me. I really enjoyed learning what each and every building houses in the way of items they deliver and go out. I never know Steel came from across seas and one of those is Jordan which is pretty far from here which is amazing and I never knew this till Saturday back on the weekend.

            Also the plans they have to expand the harbor out to allow more ships in and the reason why there isn't a marina is because of the ships could collide with the bigger ships which wouldn't be good. So now I know the reason and I don't need to fight city hall over this no more but I agree it is more of a shipping city along with a University and College city as well. Either way I learned a lot what goes on with the shipping, very educational today. But that is the post for today, I will talk to you tomorrow for the next location I was at for Door's Open.
