Home Pt. 4: Downtown (Main Street)

- CE - Friday, July 7th, 2006 : goo

Ok, so I'm finally getting the next part in theis series up. Between finding a place to live in Montreal, choosing courses, work, and everything else I have to do, it's tough to find time to put these bigger posts up. Anyways, this series is the first of two parts of Downtown. These photos are from the Main Street section.

To get into Downtown from Sussex Corner, you must go across what the locals call the Castle Bridge. I don't think anyone except for historians know exactly what it's called.

If you look to the right side of the bridge, you can see a small pedestrian bridge that is put up every summer. It takes you from underneath the bridge from a very nice park to the Princess Louise Park which is very big with losts of sports related venues.

This used to be an agricultural school but now serves as the court house. It used to seem like such a tall building to me as a child.
image 13333

This is really the beginning of the commercial part of downtown. To the right is the Cowtown Market which isn't overly well known for its excellent produce.
image 13334

This is a mural that being painted on the side of a building by an Ontario atrist. Apparently the town is sinking about $500 000 into a huge contest with murals all over downtown to boost tourism. I think it's a huge waste of money, build a new pool damnit!

More buildings. As you can see, the train still passes through Sussex, however, only freight trains pass through now. Passenger train service was discontinued about 15 years ago.

This empty lot is thanks to a fire that happened last winter. A golf shop and a craft store was lost as well as some apartments. My mom said there were hundreds of people who came out in the cold to watch the building burn. She sent me pictures which I will put up sometime. Nobody is sure if anything is going to be built to replace it. I've been told that nothing is allowed to be built as it would be impossible to insure it because it's too close to the other building. I imagine the impending Wal-Mart has something to do with it too.

The Subway in the distance is the hub of youth activity in Sussex. I also used to work there. Being the only resturant in town that stays open until 3am, the place used to fill up with drunken hillbillies after the bars shut down for the night. As you can imagine, it was awful. It does boast the longest unit (counter) of any subway in Atlantic Canada though.

Downtown from the other end. This is just about where Broad Street starts which will take us into the next section of Downtown Sussex.

Sussex Town Hall. Anyone who has ever been to St. Stephen New Brunswick will notice that it is almost exactly the same as their town hall.

wow, i enjoyed reading this post. its like i now know about a whole new place now :)

Chris Erb: 9th Jul 2006 - 05:38 GMT

What are these giant mutant fruit and veg you speak of?

EvilGentleman: 10th Jul 2006 - 15:54 GMT

I think he's referring to the pic of the market, with its signs of 10 lb potatoes and 99 lb tomatoes.

I never knew there were hillbillies in the Maritimes. Mind you, back in the late 1970's, when I was a kid on the old air force base in Chatham (now called Miramichi) I thought that baseball caps only came in two styles: Massey-Ferguson and Irving Oil.

You forgot the best part of Sussex. Just off the highway (exit 195) there is a very unique manufacturing company.

The products that are manufactured are cedar hot tubs, barrel saunas and barrel wine cellars.

The owner also has Atlantic Canada's ONLY church furniture manufacturing plant - you read it right - church pews and furniture for churches.

Regards,

Dave Byers F.F.B.

Neat pictures, more please. I went to grade one in Sussex but that was during the war (1943) and we moved off to Barrie, Ont. Lots of fond memories of the town though.
