Sheila Vaudrey: Hello Sheila H and Norma, I am quite sure that Hapgoods lived at no 20 unless they moved house, like I said I went to school with Arnold and he always lived at No 20 as far as I know. My dad worked at Royles Engineering as did Mr Iddon,...

CJ: Hello! I found this website because a co-worker of mine is considering a move to North Florida. I told her about my experiences but she didn't believe me. Perhaps she'll believe you guys though so I'll pass this link along to her. My husband and I lived in...

Alejandro!: That "obsolete machine" picture seems like a Nine Inch Nails reference to me from the song Somewhat Damaged. This tunnel looks amazing, though.

in response to The Freedom Tunnel

Lillibette Irish expat: What most of the people that have responded to this fail to realize is that "The Troubles" in Ireland have LONG ago stopped being about religion. It was/is rather like the black-white thing in the U.S., with the Catholics being treated as the blacks were treated. If you...

Who Cares for Kensington: I'll leave race out of my comments and will continues to focus on the radical change of culture and values. The changes are what thay are and I am sure that the government nor activists will be able change its core. It sounds like one of the recent contributors and...

in response to Kensington, Philadelphia - July 2004

Bertha Gibson : Thank you. I'm surprised you received no encouragement from Fr. Martin, whom seemed to be such a nice priest. Was it Sister Betty of 14 Holy Martyrs (now St. Martin's) who passed away recently? I heard she was one strict teacher/nun.

in response to A Rare Ruin in Bushwick

Lou Romero: Welcome aboard Bertha, looks like the Father Heitz memories is in full steam, yes, Father Martin, I believe did marry one of the nuns, I think they had to leave the church to do that, I believe Laura would have to confirm that story. I remember he(Fr.Martin) was not very encouraging of...

in response to A Rare Ruin in Bushwick

Bertha Gibson (Sanchez): Hello to all. Great blog here. Louis (Koochie....smile) Oh my goodness, I remember viewing Father Heitz' body in the rectory (1970?). Fourteen Holy Martyrs (on Central/Schaffer St) merged with St. Martin's (on Knickerbocker/Weirfield St) and the building (on Central/Schaffer) was taken over by Pilgrim Baptist Church. Then sometime in...

Sheila Hilton: Gary Sparkes - re shopping centre: There was also a shoe shop opposite the entrance and a little to the right (not too far from the bank).I remember buying my son a pair of Doc Martens from there, for school. A fraction of what they cost now, even taking inflation into...

in response to These Things No Longer Exist

Sheila Hilton: Hya Sue, I take it that your comments about your family (O'Reilly) were in response to anon's comments above. I suspect they were made in jest, but that wasn't made clear if they were. Perhaps anon would care to reveal him/herself. See you soon - Sheila

in response to These Things No Longer Exist

Joe F: Hi Laura ! RE: "my" 3rd Ave EL PHOTO ! I enjoyed reading your Yorkville memories as an ex 1940's-60's Yorkville-ite myself. It would have been appropriate and nice for me to also have been given ME credit for MY OWN PHOTO which you used in your writeup, photo taken at the...

G. Groulx: I think it's sad that there are over 150,000 homeless people in Canada. Abandoned houses or building can be fixed up and be used for the homeless. They can also be used as low income housing. How many people these days are finding it hard to make ends meet.

in response to Abandoned Homes

Mitch: Tykal, while I agree with you that Toronto is a great city, I am tired of hearing about how its the most multicultural city in the world when the U.N has never awcknoleged it. It is just a claim that Toronto made.

EvilGentleman: They now seem to take place every Sunday, rain or shine. But when the weather is really bad, only the most hard-core tam-tam people stay there. Last year, they kept going until Halloween, if I recall correctly.
