Urban Decay: Downtown Edmonton



 

Old Molson site

Old Molson site

I like the old signage, or what I assume to be older signage. This shop is right on 97th St and is an
unfortunate reminder of some of the economic and social struggles this area faces.

I'm really fascinated by this picture. I love the old signage, the rusty barred up windows
and the overall abandonment of the building.


I found the old brick façade of this building to be interesting, particularly the usage of the different types of brick.
 It is clear that there use to be another building attached to it. It makes me wonder what use to share this wall.


McCauley. I'm amazing that this building has not been demolished by the City. It is
boarded up and abandoned, graffiti ridden, has many broken windows, and is surrounded
 in garbage.
 
Dylan focused his final class presentation on the topic of decay and did a really good job at analyzing the different elements of decay. This is my little ode to urban decay in Edmonton.
