My wife and I have been to Yarmouth many times.Enjoyed the town and friendly people.We were there when 9/11 happend.The Canadians did everything thing they could to help stranded tourists.Thank you Canada.
Hi, thanks for visiting Yarmouth. It's a great place. I live here. I was born here, adopted and raised in the US. I moved back a few years ago. I believe at the street level there is a sign with the history of Frost Park. That is actually a very old cemetery that is full just many of the gravestones have been removed when it was turned into a park. You should see Frost Park this time of year all lite up for Christmas, it's beautiful. The ferry was supposed to run this last season but was cancelled due to Covid. Last year the ferry didn't run either but that was due to politics on the US side. The town of Bar Harbor wanted to buy the ferry terminal and the previous governor wasn't having it. So work couldn't start to remodel the terminal. The new governor let the sale go thru and the work began right away. It was done in time for this years season and tickets were actually being sold till covid shut things down. You were so right when you mentioned the economics of the town. It has suffered but we just had an election with a few new council members voted in who are rather progressive and want change and are making it happen. Lobster season runs from the last Monday in November till the end of May so that is why you saw so many traps. Unfortunately, just a couple days ago a fishing boat and crew were lost to the sea just off Digby, about an hour from here, so more names will be going onto the memorial.
Thanks for the information. Yarmouth and surrounding area are beautiful. I hope in 2021 Yarmouth bounces back economically, it's unfortunate how covid has resulted in so many businesses closing across the province.
@@olamideadedeke8097 There was word recently that the town of Yarmouth is going to buy the old high school and turn it into apts. I don't know how long that is going to take though. We really need more housing here in the worst way.
I've lived in the Maritimes my entire life (and most of it in Nova Scotia) and somehow I've still never been to Yarmouth!! I definitely need to make it down there someday. Thanks for bringing us along! :) Sad that a lot of the stores are boarded up.
With the death of tourism everything else died. Thanks to the lack of the ferry coming from Maine. I didn’t mind going to St John NB but a lot of older folks did
Born in yarmouth..grew up in seventies and eighties..unfortunatley even without covid up town preety dead..lets rewind to any random day in 1980...take a drive from the horse on main street to horse in milton other end of main street..i remember...ernies grill..red and white grocerey..laundry mat ..eamon store..playground..junior eamons store..houses of course..mickeys conveince..chritmas elves gift shop..mid town motel..dept.fisries..tourist bureau..old style inn..clipper ship tavern..sanvo convience...dominics burger..old liqor store..dr.macdonals office..nickerson hardware..salvatioan army..ralphs arcade..womens up to date shop..ymca..mr.leonards discount..hfs discount...toots convience...odean theater..galaxy games arcade..central pharmacey..bank of commerce...male ego salon..royal store ..steadmens..kitchen garden redtsurant..zellers..met...bank nova scotis ..rh davis..spears and maclead pharmacey..frost park..the court house..library..disco grocereu store..grandhotel more houses.the yrain and bus station...mermaid motel...kfc..rogers furniture..macdonalds..sweeney funeral home...captain kelleys tavern and motel..salon 215..pizza villa..gas station....this was all at once and im sure i forgot alot .lots of fun growing up there!!! ....sad to see it so slo now..family still there..it will always be my home...
I am sure once covid is over and the ferry starts running again things will turn around. The entire province has taken a hit because of the lack of tourists, hopefully 2022 is a better year.
@@TheEmptyMiddleSeatTravel well the only thing the ferrey bemefits mosyly in yarmouth is the hotel industry because of its arrival time...most are on way to valley or halifax amd hali airport...pam mood the mayor wanted to nrimg life to downtown with an arts center..i thought a great idea u could have actually had redtsurants downtown for before and after dining..it was shot down...lost oppertunity as far as im concerned..also the ymca in trouble i hope they do thier best to keep in down town lots of the community will lose out if theh put it where u need a car to get too..
I must say the waterfront much better then when i was a kid in seventies eighties back then it was strictley for working...dirty smelley nothing touristy back then!!
Beautiful Nova Scotia

Thanks, hopefully after covid is gone Yarmouth will recover. It is a pretty area.

Pictou Coast, not far from Amherst. Great place to purchase a little cottage right on the ocean shelter side.🤠
