Our new hospital just a block away from us - is opening in October. Here's a picture of it from the back. The old hospital is the tiny y-shaped building int he distance. We live a street beyond the left side houses. They face Lynwood and we are a crescent which curves into Lynnwood.
I wonder how the old hospital will be demolished. So the new hospital is opening in October 2025 and the old hospital is scheduled for demolition to complete in October 2026. Demolition will "involve crushing the brick and concrete on-site to minimize the number of trucks needed to haul debris to the landfill. The resulting chipped aggregate may be used for the property, such as for roads or foundations." That means that there is another year of construction - this time deconstruction.
In addition to the hopsital, there is a new crane located just beyond the lower left buildings. It is constructing the new McNally House Hospice. It says that the facility will be completed in April 2026. I
I found a construction picture so you could see what's happening there. This picture shows the McNally Hospice House foundation three days ago. Yesterday a big new crane was added. The street going out of the top of the picture is Sunnylea Crescent. Drive around the crescent, and there's my house.
Our McNally House is named after Grimsby residents. It you search on the internet you might find Andrew McNally House - of Rand McNally - in California. It was a heritage house built in 1887 by architect Frederick L. Roehrig, it is octagonally shaped. There are lots of pictures of it, as it was on the real estate market in 2020. Sadly, it was destroyed in the Eaton Fire in January 2025.
So back to little Grimsby with our big cranes and construction for the next year and a bit. I wonder if I will miss those little beep-beep-beeps and whether Millie will be wistful of having the guys way up on the roof that she hears so clearly that she thinks she can visit them.
Tomorrow is the Fun Run Porsche Day, and they will be stopping on Sunnylea for a garden tour. This is Gerry's car from two years ago. That was when the Topaz Lab filter was functioning and I could add the "speed blur" as he came around the corner.
