From the outside, there is no indication that the plant is abandoned. No window is doomed and there is no "for sale" sign. Even the structure of the building is still in very good condition. I myself had doubts when I heard about it for the first...
The building, called the Omnipac, is for sale and the sellers offer a touch of humor to attract potential buyers. "Completely renovated," says the sign even if there is a graffiti invasion on every walls and all windows are missing. The place is closed, but easily accessible. The adjacent building was destroyed in April 2009, just when the Google car went there.
More, by reading the rental form of the building on the website of the company in charge of the sale, we discover that new architectural plans were produced for the renovation of the place. But, by seeing its current state, we guess that the project of the owner to convert into offices has been abandoned.

The building is 180,000 square feet over five floors. Four of which are dedicated for offices and the first floor for shops. At least that is what the estate agent says on its website. Remains to know how long the project will stay on the ice... if it's developped one day.
When entering the building, the first observation is that it's really empty. In fact, apart from the skeleton, there is nothing except graffitis. No division, nothing concrete, only standing water and peeling paint.
However, the light is interesting and the elements here and there on the floor offer good photos. The staircase leading to the roof is particularly interesting from a photographic point of view with its railway located a few steps from the building.
During our visit, despite the huge amount of graffiti we encountered only three people in these places, two of which came to play guitar (and probably to smoke a joint or two of marijuana).

When I was a kid, I often traveled with my parents and my brothers in Los Santos, the village where I was born. Each time when we approached, my father used to say: "Beware, I will give a penny to the first one who will see the smoke of the plant...
So you might think the old Conveyor dock's tower straight out of the fourteenth century, but you're wrong. The pier on which it is located was built in 1956-1957 and was one of the last marine works at the port of Montreal before it does change...
It takes a lot of motivation to get to this old mine and foundry abandoned since 2002. For it must be admitted that we are rather far from everything in this distant municipality of 650 inhabitants. Moreover, if this village exists, it is above...
