Walker Power Building - In need of a facelift
I walked to the Walker Power Building today and was sad to see more broken windows and yet more ads stuck to the side of the building for Big Tony’s and The Drive magazine. I can’t help thinking there should be a better use for this wall that gets viewed by so many cars on a daily basis from Riverside Drive.
It’s practically in the back yard of the Arts Council Windsor & Region and a historic Walkerville building. I thought it would be a great welcome beacon for Walkville if only it had a better face to welcome people going by. There has to be a better creative use for this historic building which is in need of our attention. So many historic buildings continue to be destroyed in this city. Even if some change could come to that wall alone, I think it would make a big difference.
Walkerville is celebrating it’s 150th year and they recently had a celebration in Walkerville where a movie was supposed to be shown in a parking lot on Wyandotte. I couldn’t help thinking that even this wall would of been a wonderful location to show the film on since it has a nice grass lot beside it. Anything would be better than the repetitive misuse in my opinion by The Drive magazine.
