Manage
-I just checked out your link and they have a concept picture of the planned park. It is quite a bit bigger than I thought.
-Hopefully sooner rather than later.. would be a great addition to Limehouse..
-taking a long time ;-)
-Yaay. The old hood. Gentrify
-Bought car parts there in the 60s
-Gonna need some major soil cleanup
-I rebuilt my first mustang with parts out of that yard.
-I love the idea of a park right there.
-Glad to hear about the park, nice news for Marg
-Actually Harry Liederwhen they were doing the final testing on the property just before dad passed it passed with amazing #s because there was very little soil on the property the rock was right beneath the soil and there is a natural under ground water table and they have tested the water every year and it also was clean as could be very safe to drink , I am hoping that they start the park soon it was the last thing Dad did was to sign that him and Mom would donate to help create the park and I really would like Mom to be able to enjoy it
-What a wonderful gift from your father. Let's hope they can get started on it soon.
-Debbie we lived in the house just below it (22 Newton Street) in the 80s and that is where we got our water, it was amazing, cold, pure :)
-Wonderful gift for sure!!
-My good friend Sharon's grandparents lived in a trailer just to the left of that picture before Fred Tolton had the junk yard.
-Limehouse has always had good cold water. Lots of underground water

-hasn't changed much since I left
-The best place to grow up!
-Grew up on that street. Fond memories.
-I remember living on the Blvd. 50 years ago and splashing you at the mud puddle 
-lol. Yes 50 years ago...hard to believe eh? Going to the Colliers every day?
-My Mom told me that my Grandfather Bastedo and some of my Uncles helped build these houses.
-Lived there for a few years - amazing street to raise kids. Neighbours were awesome!!!!!! Still drive down the street every so often when I'm in town. We were at # 43, just around the bend on the left.
-Don Barringer and family lived at 43 when we were there —-sure I spelled the name wrong sorry
-We rented from Dave Barrager!! -- ( family had Barrager's Cleaners)
-Hi Suzanne, what years did you live at #43. I lived at #45 from 1956-1968
-Miller’s lived at #41 for a while in the late ‘50’s early ‘60’s
-We were there from 70 until 73, but I think you had moved to another part of Georgetown when we had you and Bruce babysit for us, and then Bruce took care of our kids a lot after we moved to the Glen. I think we must have gotten your names from someone on the blvd. to call in the first place.
-your right Lynda I had my house number wrong so nice to see some familiar names on here, my last name is Millar
-I owned a house on Normandy with Joe Campbell, #22 maybe? Lived there with him, Bob Cunningham, Paul Cunningham and a few other bad characters for several years lol
-You guys were great Hallowe'en scarers!😲
-NFL sundays on Normandy
-Oh ya and horseshoes till dark
-Ha😃ha😃ha. Good old Normandy Blvd. It was actually #19 as I recall. After Beave & Howie moved out, in came cousin Brian & Danny Norman. Now there was a handful for sure. Wow. Great memories 😊🍺🍺
-Yep Dan Norman Great Guy left us to soon!!!
-ya I remember Dan from Norval, had a brother Peter And a sister Virginia I think ..
-Yup I think you are right Bob, #19. After some back and forth and looking at pictures thats where I ended up also
-I know he had a brother named Dave, not sure about the rest
-ya it was Dave not Peter
-We used to plow all the snow into the middle, until some moron complained that they had to drive all the way down the street and back, to get home, so, we filled in the drive ways instead.
-My mom on Normandy Judy Hayes
-What number is that house?
-We lived at 45 ——we moved to Hillsburgh in 1955–did you live on Hillsburgh also—-we sold our house to Doug Peck
-I forgot my husband and I also lived at #1 in the early 60s—-lived beside Rayners and we rented from Bill Hunter
-What a small world -- so you were in the house beside us, but before we moved there. Yes, we lived in Hillsburgh for 29 years -- from '75. Was your maiden name Spence? If so, we lived across from your parents on Orangeville St. We were at # 29 Orangeville. If I have this right, your parents had a farm at the south end of Hillsburgh and then moved into the house that Dance's had across from us.
-thanks, now I know when we moved to the Blvd. 😊
-My childhood home was #26..lived there even after I was married and both my sons were born while living here..many..many special memories and strong friendships forged from this street, which remain intact today..now in N.S.
-26 was our first house. Right beside Bill and Verna Schenk. I was Roy Rogers to Diane's Dale Evans. Moved to #57 beside Herb and Mima Brown and Bob and Joan Hore before moving to Shelley Street. Normandy will always be home. Best memories there.
-#57 was the house dad was suppose to have..your dad got #26 and he kindly changed with my family as we had more kids than you..did you know this story Bob McMenemy?
-Yes. Your brother, Barry, signed the visitors' book at Dad's funeral, giving 26 Normandy as his address. I cried
-No doubt..our fathers remained best buds for years..xo
-when you guys moved out Joe and Peg McMenemy moved in
-When I visit the Glen cemetery, I pay my respects to your parents as well. Can still clearly picture both of them. You look like your Mom. Not a bad thing.
-I am honoured to look like mom..thank you my childhood friend
-did you live at 26 when the Henderson’s lived at 28. My late husband is Roy
-We live at 26 now. Last 40 years. Hope to be here for another 40! Love our street and home! Right in the middle of town now.
-For a short time, Yes. Then moved down the street to 57.-I remember Roy when I was young living next door to his parents. All the Henderson boys were always looking out for us.
-I’ve head lots of stories about Normandy Blvd. Roy and his brothers and sisters had great memories of that time
 I remember all of the Henderson family..a wonderful bunch of people..<3
-we were at that 45th reunion. Lots of fun
-My Aunt and uncle live at #26 Eleanor Burke and Kevin.
-I believe you are the people who bought my family home #26 from my dad..Jack Timleck..in or around 1976? Is this correct?
-Yes. And thank you! We love Normandy Blvd and never plan to leave! The street has not changed. New faces maybe but the feeling among us is exactly the way you and former residents claim! Time for another reunion I think!
-Normandy will always be home to me..happy you enjoy living on the street
-I grew up at #45, until early ‘70’s. Best place to grow up back then. A dead end street, we played every sport on the the road!!!! I remember when a new snow plow driver would not know or forget to plow the snow into the middle of the Blvd. I agree with Kent Robinson - What a pain! We & many other neighbours always dug out a section in front of our house to drive though. Sure made great snow forts. Our neighbour at #49 would shovel put the fire hydrant. We made snow tunnels the length of that!!! Great memories growing up on that street! 😊
-I grew up at #49 then moved to #51.
-We were next door to you - I believe it was you who we had babysit, one time you were busy, so your brother, Bruce, came - that's when we lived in the Glen (after moving from Normandy). He babysat for us many, many times. We just had our 2 boys then.
-My mother bought this home and since then we've all grown up in this house. #24, we even still live here
-#24 was owned by Bud and Marg Hyde when I lived at #26..great neighbors
-its a beautiful home
-When we moved there in 48 there was one telephone I think by Stapleton on a pole on the middle of the road and when it rang someone would run to answer it then go get whoever it was for
-Just like Green Acres LOL
-Known as the Party street ..had many laughs in back yards up and down that street lol!
-hey..is that good or bad..ha ha
-It's all good Jackie lol!!
-Just lots of good people on that street!
-absolutely..wouldn't change a thing..and everyone helped each other..great street to grow up on..
-The houses are special as well
-It’s still a party street
-Does anyone remember Georgetown dairy used to keep their horses in that swath of land in the 50s before the Baptist church was built we used to like to give them carrots apples
-in the gully you mean?
-yes in the gulley I seem to remember a drive shed in there also
-I remember the horses delivering milk every morning. They would come around the corner at 7:10 am, that was my morning alarm clock 😊
-Hi and say Hi to Bruce I liked the horse drawn milk wagons
-I still have my coffee cup from the reunion. Have a Tshirt somewhere and some pictures. Will have to look for them.
-My husband's aunt and uncle lived on Normandy for many years - Jean (Whaley) and Gord Lane. Kids are: Lynda, Terry, Ron and Sharon. They lived near Guelph Street on the right when you turn from Guelph St.
-Number 10

-27 next home over Chub and Chirp Stapleton my grandparents
- Mark And Betsy Tellier there now ..
-I know the houses on the Blvd were a cookie cutter print!! There are LOTS of them out west here as well. By only 48 arriving do you mean they were a prefab type model?

-Such a wonderful street! I could run through my back yard, cross Maple and be in the lineup at Wrigglesworth after the bell had rang :)
-#9......many happy memories. It was a great place to grow up. We sometimes do a drive by when my sister Ann is in town.
-I do the same when I’m back in Georgetown. 🙂
-I do the same when I’m back in town. Haven’t been there in about 8 years. We lived next door to Colliers (#45). Grew up with Jeanette & Joanne. Last time I was back the owner of 45 saw me looking at the house & offered to show me all the changes inside. I declined b/c it was raining & my grandson needing attention. I should gave taken him up on the offer. Maybe another time 😊
-i grow up at #49
-Hi Jane, I’m trying to put the right face to your name. 😟. What was the name of your neighbours on the opposite side from Colliers? Didn’t they have a small dog & a baby around 1957-58?

-Also my cousin Inez and husband Lester lived next door to the McMenemys. I think Mid 60s
-I remember the McGonigles. Didn’t they live in the house Gummers bought?

-Yes Joanne. Good memory.
-Gummers was the blank in my previous post
-Quite a memory there, John.
-thanks Bob, may try the even side tomorrow
-I remember another house before the Rayner’s. Then it was torn down. Anyone else remember that?
-Rayners lived at 3 but can’t remember who was at #1
-i want to remember that it was an old couple. He may have driven taxi? The name Cadero maybe?
-Beattys lived in that house but my mother thinks Tut Harrison owned it at one time.

-I somehow remember an older person living there by the name of Eaton who drove taxi
-yes I think you are right.
-just asked my wife Joyce Schofield and she doesn’t remember her uncle Jim living at #1 but it would have been a lot earlier because he built his house around the corner on Pauline St in the 50s.
Joyce also said that there was a #4 Normandy t
hat belonged to the Stevens and was moved to Pauline St onto a lot that she may have bought from Jim Schofield.
-yes Glen his name was Eaton Tansley , he drove taxi , they lived in THE GLEN at one time there were two boys Bill n Ron , Bill passed away a few years ago in Orillia n I lost all contact with Ron any years ago ...
-Ron was best man at our wedding. Not sure where he is now. He grew up in Brampton for a number of years where he and my husband were best buds.
-just talking to Jeanann Schofield and she says her Uncle Jim lived farther down Guelph St in a house near the old fruitmarket before he built the house on Pauline St in the 50s
-47 Normandy was listed for sale a few months ago...asking price $485,000

-Oh my. Thats awesome.. loved that little house. I drove by it today..
-Did you move out of there when dave came along. Thats why we moved. It was too small for a 2nd child. We then bought a semi on sargent
-So many names here I remember as a kid, just can’t remember exactly where everyone lived. 
Nancy Timleck, did you live down by the bend?

-yes on the other side of the street to you toward the highway
-That’s what I thought, however the memory is a bit vague after 50+ years 😊
-My mom and dad Doris Doyle and Clarence lived/live at #21. There are still the youngest Doyle’s living here. Myself with my son and a couple of my siblings.
-Our old house on the right number 31. Great pic.
-I never knew until this thread started that you lived on Normandy.
-funny I didn’t know you did and even funnier we were neighbours in Hillsburgh. Small world.
-Is this in Georgetown or the Glen ? Just wondering as I remember my dad talking about it.
-Georgetown. First house on right belonged to Fred and Josie Tost.
-I see Joe and Peg lived here..... that explains why my dad talked about this ..... thanks

-We live at 43 normandy
-What years were you there? We rented # 43 from Dave Barrager from '70 until '72. (I think that's right, this old mind of mine isn't always accurate. LOL) I remember your name. Connie & Roger Darling were next door, on the driveway side.
-My family lived at 6 it was moved to John Street after the garage was torn down to make room for the plaza there. My grandparents (Bob & Ette Hardman) lived at 8. They were original's on the street and the only owners until they passed away in 1984 & 1989.
-I remember when your house was moved to John St. Can't remember what year it was but I was a little kid and thought it was pretty exciting to know your house was in one spot one day and another spot another day. I lived at 32 at the time
-I still find it weird when I drive by it. hasn't changed a bit. Still looks exactly like it did on the Blvd.
-What year did they move in? Your Dad stayed there until he passed away, correct?
-I would guess they moved in during 1946 or 1947. We had to move Dad into the Bennett Centre a couple of years before he passed away in 2006 & the house was sold at that time.

-Where is kfc now?Been about 16 year,s. When i left gtown.
-No more KFC in town, New kid on the block serving fried Chicken. Hungry Hollow Smokehouse.
-The "Colonel" has left the building....and the Town...:(
-Ok ty
-My sister Gloria Sinclair is right I worked there all through high school and it was the best part time paying job in town. I remember 2 for 1 snack box days the line up was down the street I always took the day off school to work that day it was fun and crazy busy awe the good old days!!! 😃 Cheers
-LOL seagull salted in a box
-I like to use dead duck in a bucket better lol
-Is that on Guelph st. Doesn't look like it.
-it is.. they tore it down and built this
-i miss it
-I miss KFC was always an easy dinner fix
-One day I went to KFC Georgetown and they told me they were out of chicken! True story, called manager and he gave me a free bucket voucher for next time. Went to Swiss Chalet
-For a small town that is developing on houses more traffic but no KFC Burger king ,wendys and no movie theatre all of those was taken away. But all we have now is more houses more traffic soon l bet will be transit. Doesn't make much sense to me.
-Totally agree with you. It’s unbelievable able on how much more houses we have. But the more important things we don’t
-Maple Lodge processed the colonels' chickens too. I guess that is part of our history too. I live in Brampton.The Taco Bell is now a KFC, eat in too. The KFC is now a Starbucks. The Dairy Queen is treats only, no burgers. Life is tough here too!
-I still remember Mom and I sending Dad to KFC for the toonie Tuesday snack pack lol he came home with Swiss Chalet and wondered why the girl looked at him funny when he said the bill was too high !! OOPS wrong place Dad !!
-And that is our stone on the building. Our stone in Dominion Gardens Park as well.
-For such a little piece of real estate it made big bucks in its day. By the barrel...
-So many memories of us picking up kfc as kids and older for dinner. But sure love Dr. Meldrums ski chalet too 😉
-I like the popcorn chicken so much, sometimes i drive to the one on this side of Brampton.
-Wow that’s crazy to be fair I didn’t know it had changed, guess I just assumed KFC would be there long after I pass haha
-Got turned off years ago from KFC. Twice years apart undercooked chicken. What are the odds. Still...enough to never want to eat it again. We find its not as good as it was when we were kids.
-Ya....real small and very greasy pieces nowadays.......
-I worked there from mid 1971 to early 1976.It was a great day job.The hours suited my lifestyle at the time 10:30 in the morning to 4 pm in the afternoon.Gene Gogoff was still there (the franchise owner) Butch Bleiler,& Betty Mclean on the counter.Very fond memories...
-I remember the crazy bucket that turned backwards. Good good though.

-Formerly the house of Richard Creelman, an early settler of
Georgetown and owner of Creelman Bros., a company that
produced world renowned knitting machines that put Georgetown ,on the map

-just a few memories here
-Lots of memories there too 25 years ago! ❤️
-We lived there for a few years, shared that nice big shady yard with a couple of neighbors,(Marty & Donna Dezeeuw)& Howard & Phee Fendley)who owned the corner store. Miss those days.
-I remember playing in big piles of leaves and dad building us an ice rink one winter. And the Davis family upstairs and the Young boys behind us so about 10 kids all under that one roof! Soccer games in the back and playing in the fields behind.
-You had the most beautiful lilac trees behind there. I remember like it was yesterday.
-there’s still some there 😊
-I lived down the street played at that house , great memories !
-I worked there when Mr.& Mrs. Austin had it as a nursing home in the 60’s
-wow.. I didn't know that
-Georgetown can be proud of this type of architecture
-Love the architecture.
-One of the vendors I met at the downtown market has one of the original machines.
-And my home for many years. We lived in the apartment to the left. Spent many hours riding our bikes up and down Carruthers Road, playing in the lilac bushes by the railroad tracks behind the factory next door. Do you remember 
-Wow, I didn't know that either.
-Walked by that house on a daily basis. Love it
-Wow that was my first home when I was born 0-4 yrs!
-Lovely Old Home. Hope it is Safe from the wrecking ball.
-I think it was made into apartments beautiful old home
-When we lived there, there were three apartments I think but it's been remodelled since.
-There are 6 units now
-Apparently what was my kitchen only was made into a bachelor apartment.
-I remember a family lived there at one time MacDonald's they had 4 or 5 children. They also lived on Rexway Drive.
-Always loved that house
-Had a place there with my mom . Along time ago
-I wonder at what point the addition on the back was added. 
-Wow. That is an amazing photo.
-I can't find very much info on the house.. There's lots about the business and where it once was though
-There’s a Creelman Hall at the University of Guelph. Wonder if it’s the same family?!
-Could be .. Apparently the 2 Brothers that started the knitting company here were born in Grey Bruce county as was George whom the hall at Guelph U is named after
-interesting! I haven’t found a definite answer yet but you’d think there has to be some relationship. All pretty successful men with the same name in close geographical proximity.
-I know that it was once a nursing home & i wasn't thrilled to find out that my moms uncle died in what was my living room.lol
-I work there in early 60’s what was your uncle’s name or was it before that or after 1964
-I don’t recall the name but it’s been a long time might have been before I started there
-I lived there around 1970 I think, apartment on the right
