I am sharing these photos I posted in a Facebook group of building in my childhood neighbourhood that still stand, but with different purposes. I grew up on Patrick Street in what was known as "Buckley". Before the centralization of shopping and commercial ventures, almost every neighbourhood had their share of corner stores and businesses. here is a montage of corner stores, grocery stores and businesses within walking distance of my house, ... …

Today marks the 110th anniversary of the sinking of the RMS Lusitania. The Lusitania was torpedoed by a German U-Boat around 14:11, and sank in 18 minutes. The torpedo hit the starboard side of the ship just below the bridge, causing a list that made it difficult to launch the lifeboats safely. Out of 48 lifeboats, more than enough for all of the 1,960 people on board, only 6 were launched.
In total, 1,197 were lost, including Sault Ste. …

Many of the people of Sault Ste. Marie were shocked at the City’s decision to shutter a longstanding organization this month - The Sault Downtown Association. Shaping the downtown for 49 years, the DTA was responsible for many of the yearly events that have become staples in the community, including Moonlight Magic and the vibrant downtown street parties and sidewalk sales held every summer.

Deep dive into Station Mall's photos - black and white shots are pre-expansion (when they went further west with hallway ending with Zellers) - Notice the old Memorial Gardens! Colour shots are more current but nice for comparing!

If you haven't been on a Jane's Walk, I highly recommend it. Each walk is very different and always informative.
The Simpson St. heritage tree walk is always incredible, learning about the very old trees growing around Bishophurst.
I'm also interested in the Summit & Bruce hill neighbourhood walk, and the Clergue industries walk (with Jo Bumbacco, who shares some cool stuff with this space from time to time)
Jane’s Walk 2025 will bring stories, history, and art to city streets
