| EricHiggin said: Most of that came from trucking before the explosive farming expansion more recently. There were quiet rumors that those trucks that went to the U.S. quite often, were also carrying snow... All year round... Not sure if there's any truth to it but can't help but wonder with property investments like that. When it comes to nature related stuff, Norfolk does it right for the most part. The coal plant kinda balanced that out until recently, lol, but we corrected that as well. Brant is expanding quickly in the Paris direction, as well as Paris itself. If it were me, I'd get out of there now. The property has got to be worth quite a bit at the moment. Reminds me of Caledonia. Been passing through there recently. It's expanding like crazy because of Hamilton, and right now both bridges there are closed for maintenance. Who's bright idea was that? If Covid were to spread from here to anywhere, it would most likely be Brantford. That's where most Norfolk residents go to 'the big city'. Home of the Great One. Hopefully that doesn't become the case and it can be nipped right here and now. |
Ha that reminds me of the movie The Mule. The character that that's based on is a big name in the daylily hybridizing world, which is what my wife is into. We have a one acre property right on the river which we got a good deal on in 2007. It's worth at least double already, quiet part of town on the water. We've had people walk in asking if we wanted to sell the property numerous times. She has thousands of daylilies in the gardens so moving is not an option haha. (Stressful with this crisis, hard to get new plants in, shipping is not worth the trouble, UPS is the worst)
This is my wife's garden

I just cut the grass (less every year, gardens keep expanding) trim the trees and maintain the pool. (and help move dirt and trays around, no green thumb here)
She won a bunch of awards again from the Ontario Daylily society and was on the board for a while but quit. (Mostly run by old bickering men, she was the youngest there and a woman on top of that...)
Brant country still stands at 109 reported cases (since last weekend). The closest is a small outbreak in the Ferraro plant next to the 403 (near Hardy road). But yeah, expanding like crazy everywhere. Brantford is adding a new distribution center, Paris is adding a business park on the 403, Ayr is building a lot of new houses, Woodstock is growing, urban sprawl is speeding up.
