The fire hall just north of the produce warehouses never used to be there. I also remember a certain sausage company that had a factory outlet on either Williams or Napier. Just a block or so east of that rather large park on Venables. Googling that area, I see it is called Strathcona Park now, but I swear it was called something else before. It had a track and a grandstand. The grandstand was where guys took their g/f for you know..... anyway, I used to go by the sausage place on my way to Brit to get their famous pepperoni sticks. I have forgotten the name of the place. Someone remember the name?
Back in those days walking to and from school was no big deal. I bet if kids nowadays had to walk that far, they'd die of a heart attack. LOL.
