A bit of sad, but leading to relevant news.
My old neighbour, whose massive backyard abuts mine (I believe it is 190 ft in length), has been moved to long term care. Her property has been boarded up (165 Courtland Ave E.) which is next to St. Joseph's Residence. This is news as that property allows for medium density, I believe, as part of the Kitchener Official Plan. Property is massive, it runs from Courtland to the end of 189 Cedar St S (our rental prop). It originally was a farmhouse. A bit of history, her father/grandfather (Hintz), owned much of the land that is now present day Cedar St S. In fact, her father helped build 193, 187 then 189 Cedar St S (in that order). 189 was a gift for an uncle that came back from the war (he was originally from Alberta). If you've ever driven down there, you'll see 189 and 193 share a common driveway. The owner of 193 and 189 were one and the same, which was why it was a shared driveway.
It has been sold. At present I'm not sure who, but you can believe I am interested, as our property would make the most wonderful 'L' to it. The only issues are GRCA something-or-other for a bit of the backyard (mine as well), and there is a sewer drain on the property.
House is in rough shape. It will be demolished. I'm curious who bought it.
