NEAT! The 3 red and white smoke stacks at the Tufts cove generating station seen today, are only 2 and a half @1:51. The 3rd is just being built and about half done.
1:01 -- Citadel Motors My Father bought a 1981 Buick Park Avenue here. I always lijed how tte showroom was on the main level and the repair department was in the "basement" because of the slope of the hill.
nocturnal cat I remember it being built as well, there was a fire on one of the bottom floors, it was half way built then, it delayed the work for a while. I lived on Birmingham st. and went to Saint Mary's school on Morris st. at the time. Everyday I watched it being built from the school yard, it was something else
Even though it is still called the ghetto in the sky, you pay hooker rent for your piece of the ghetto in the sky. Remember gentrification is so 90's. We prefer 'build back better.'
hi, I know it sounds odd but I just brought an old letterman jacket and I'm trying to understand its history, I was wandering if you could help me identify if I'm looking in the right place. the patchwork says its from the maritime campus store Halifax Canada - thanks Molly
Hi Molly, sorry, but the Maritime Campus Store, on Quinpool Rd. in Halifax, has closed it's doors.www.thecoast.ca/Shoptalk/archives/2011/03/31/maritime-campus-store-appears-to-have-closed. www.imprintableclothes.com/maritimecampus/b.jsp?id=2632&parentId=412...
Ah yes, Mulgrave Park area. In the early/mid 70s my father was executive director at the Halifax Police Boys Club. Spent a lot of time there in my youth...knew a lot of the kids from Mulgrave.
My wife remembers joining the first day it opened, it cost 1 dollar for the year, the line up was down Devonshire Ave. she thinks the executive director name was Ron.
@@hamiltonontkeith Ron Johnson, yep. He was the first director when it first opened. Would've been sometime in 1972. Lotsa fond memories of that place. The color scheme inside was wild, lol.
I remember the 70's as being a much happier time. It is just youth or was the high of the Trudeau years really better? The 80's sucked IMO. Although personally they weren't so terrible. I really feel like the conservative backlash of Reagan, Thatcher and Mulroney ruined things.
That's the first thing that I saw everyday, when I opened my door. I lived at 157 "F" Block, from 1967 to 1978. My Grandfather took this video back in the early 70's.
