So I recently moved to this town and I found this creepy restaurant. The photographs aren't very clear, it was dark and I was using my camera phone. Now, I asked my landlord about this place because he knows everything about this town. Apparently, it hasn't been abandoned for that long. The old man who owns the place was trying to put something on the roof last year or the year before (I can't remember) and he had a seizure when he was up there, luckily he didn't fall off the roof. He recovered, but no one heard anything from him after that. A few times a year he has someone mow the lawn, but that's about it. It looks like it was a cute restaurant when it was up and running. It had a ship theme to it, with captains quarters for bathrooms and ropes and stuf, that's what I could see from the windows anyway. There's also a living area attached, he probably lived in the restaurant. Today, this building is so run down I wouldn't suggest anyone going in there. There are two small holes in the roof that lets water and small animals in. There are also many noises that I can hear on quiet nights coming from inside, so I assume that there are a number of animals living there. The floors look quite rotten, as well. Definitely a good place to visit and photograph, though!

Thank you for coming to the Island. However, the location should be moved to the "Manitoulin" catagory rather then creating a new one just for Prov. You may have noticed the house on Mary Jane St. that was abandoned halfway through construction. My uncle lives right next door.

There's really no point hiding the address with a commercially named establishment.
