Stop 50, stopped long ago

An abandoned and boarded up gas station and motel on the QEW at Fifty Road near Winona and Stoney Creek (between Hamilton and Grimsby).   Stop 50 closed in 2012.  In the near future, the site will become part of a commercial development including a Costco and an LCBO.  Some of the land around it has started to be leveled.   Visited December 2015
