revrnd Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 Updated list. Thru the Ottawa Valley recently on Hwy 17. No sign of a Mi Casa B&B, Stonecliffe Resort or Rapides Motel. Saw an abandoned business, Breton Motel & Restaurant east of Mattawa. Looking online it closed sometime prior to 2010. It's on my database, but I don't ever recall hearing about it. It'll be removed from the database. Sometimes it's hard to determine if a business is open or closed permanently. Type "breton motel mattawa" into your search engine of choice & look @ all the hits that come up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARKSIDE Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 It's with sadness to see an old friend go. But THREE BEARS CAMP in Shining Tree is CLOSED and up for sale. There is no food, no bar, no gas and will probably stay this way until it's sold. . Brandon now lives in southern Ontario and Kelly now lives and works at a mine over by New Liskeard.

Viperules700 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Thank-you for the update! Does this mean maybe no C trail thru the area as well because of lack of volunteers? I know you will continue to supply gas at the main road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revrnd Posted November 15, 2015 Author Share Posted November 15, 2015 Down to Ottawa via Hwy 7 today. Can any regular travellers along this route identify the 2 closed motels that are between the Arden & Mountain Grove turnoffs? The easterly 1 is on the north side. The motel closer to Arden "The (blank) Inn" is on the south side. Just wondering if I have them listed on the database. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revrnd Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 Updated the list on the 1st page. Any idea if the Villa Motel in Markdale still exists? As always guys thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revrnd Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 Any visitors to NW Ontario know the name of this abandoned motel & gas station near Kashabowie on Hwy' 11 west of Thunder Bay? I have a business named Kashabowie Store & Lodging. Nothing comes up on a Google search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your statement reminds me of this thread: http://ontarioconditions.com/forums/index.php?/topic/11542-wawa-motel-investments/?hl=wawa Some of them have been closed longer than I've been looking after the motel list. When I got the pics, a couple were unknown to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doogirl69 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Went for a ride today. Stopped at Lobos in Oxtongue Lake but it was closed. Just made it to Websters Beacon in Dwight on fumes. Anyone know if they will be open this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake G Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) Revrnd, thank you for keeping the data base up to date. What a task that must be. Arundel Lodge is not open in the winter. There is no snowmobile trail within three miles of it. Edited February 7, 2016 by revrnd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revrnd Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 Another mystery for you guys. (pic looking south) It's about 13 klicks north of Aubrey Falls on Hwy 129. I have a waypoint marked gas for the business but no date or name. Any idea what the name of it was when it was open? By the looks of it's condition, it had been closed for a while when the Googlemobile went thru. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildbill Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Copied from facebook o our Customers, Neighborhood and FriendsWith much regret, The Red Door Bakery has CLOSED – September 15 , 2016Opened Since August 1, 2008 (even years before that from home) To our many regular customers, we are very grateful for the support you gave us in our desire to open a warm neighborhood bakery owned and operated by a family here in Waubamik for the residents of Waubamik ( McDougall Township) and surrounding area. I just wish there had been more of you, but we will always remember your kindness.And for a small minority of people who rooted for our failure before we ever opened our doors, we’ll never forget you either. We have had good and bad reviews, been criticized by people who have never even have been to The Red Door Bakery, was both amusing and demoralizing, not only to us as owners, but to our coworkers who put all of their efforts into giving each guest a great experience.We want to thank the wonderful people we got to know, who worked with us both behind the scenes, in the kitchen and in the front of the store serving you. Owing a bakery is a 24 hours a day experience, and we couldn’t have picked a nicer group of people to spend our time with.

The resteraunt and gas station burned years ago and has been closed since Thanks a bunch! I forgot to post something last night about driving past the derelict operation. I came down the "road" in July & did see a sign "something" 129. It was faded & I was towing the trailer so I didn't want to gawk around too much. When I call 129 a road, most of it should be a 500 or 600 series secondary road by the state of the pavement, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revrnd Posted October 23, 2016 Author Share Posted October 23, 2016 Up to the show & got all but 1 of the latest maps (missing D1) & will start going thru them to update the database. If anyone can confirm the status of any of the listed businesses the help would be greatly appreciated. I'll post when Corey has updated the online info.

slomo Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 New proprietors at the former Red Door Bakery in Waubamic - DunAhmic area of district 10. ( if it is still called district 10) Kitzies Kitchen is the new name, no internet presence yet. Selling baked goods, some small grocery items and hoping to expand to a deli restaurant over time. They have applied to sell gas - will update next time I'm over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PISTON LAKE CRUISER Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 (edited) The Moncton Diner in Moncton Ontario (just off the B111 between Listowel & Mitchell) is now open and running in the building that was formally Mary's Truck Stop. They do not have fuel since the tanks were pulled out when Mary's shut down, I believe they are a breakfast / lunch operation only. Maybe Dave K. could chime in with more info. on hours they are open. Edited October 23, 2016 by PISTON LAKE CRUISER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the new gas bar and Tim Hortons open on the Blyth corner yet, where the old shell station and restaurant was? Went by this summer and construction was under way! Be great if it is ready for winter season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
