OMG they had light rail, then! And I bet it worked!

Yes it did, it was just like the TTC is now in Toronto.

Wow, I've ate and drank at so many of those places. They just became a lot more interesting though. Thanks for making these videos, you are a real curator

Downtown Ottawa looked so nice in the 1900. It has changed a lot.

Note that streetcars had only been introduced less than a decade earlier and all those tall poles held up telegraph wires.
