Love that abandoned house/grow-op aesthetic. Would anyone really miss the Pattullo if it was torn down? They could replace it with a new bridge, or better yet, use the money to expand rapid transit into Surrey. Probably there will be some who argue it's a heritage structure and needs to be preserved/restored whatever. But "old" does not equal "heritage."
