I'll definitely be adding Richardson Side Road to the map. I'd like to hear about the Richardson family. Please feel free to contact me at forgotten-ottawa@kballantyne.ca
id love to hear the history along the ottawa river like rue portage. I ask because i discovered an untouched buried smithy place along the bike path, and i imagine it would have been used back in the day for logging and such but i cannot find any information. I sent pics to the museum of the items i found and they confirm its old blacksmith items and debris. I also found chalkboard slate in this area.
It seems Jeremiah Kealey was one of the earliest settlers in Bytown and later came to Old Ottawa East in the 1850s. www.mainstreeter.ca/index.php/2020/02/29/jeremiah-kealey-telmon-and-de-mazenod-new-streets-new-street-names-in-greystone-village/
Hey Great video. Love the interactive map. Lots of work to do. One thing I learned is that in the area of Fisher and Meadowlands some streets are named after WWII battles such as Normandy, Ortona and Falaise.
Your viadeos are always the highlight of my day! Please keep making them. Learning about the unique history of Ottawa makes it all the more enjoyable when out on a stroll.
Thanks! According to this source archive.org/details/localhistory_2IS/page/190/mode/2up, Bay Street was named "because it runs southward from a small bay in the Ottawa River."
i love these videos. i live on Laurier ave (west)
Thanks! I'm glad you like them
Don't forget to add Richardson side road! If you need any help send me a message I am a descendant of the Richardson family.

Wow what a discovery! When I get a chance, I'll see if I can dig a little further
Mulder Avenue and Scully Way are named after X-Files characters.
