-Isn't that mill st apt. I used to live there
-so long ago...fun times with mostly fun neighbours...
-Lots of memories there!
-Lived there when I got married back in 1977.....thought it was still John Street though???
-Former Dayfoot Shoe factory
-They were called Mill st apartments when we were there...Albert Eutineer* was landlord
-Same here. Wonder if he still around
-Old Dayfoot shoe Factory .. was once John street.. Changed to Mill Street
-I grew up there. I babysat almost every kid that lived there and the apts next door at 18 Mill St 😊
-You were the first person I thought of when I saw the picture.
-Hey, I grew up there too. The fun we used to have playing hide and seek, red rover, etc.
-Sleepovers, riding our bikes up that "jump" and trying not to hit that little tree, ice skating on the creek, staying out until the street lights came on lol
-That whole area and surrounding wood lots and streams holds my childhood memories. Absolute freedom, wonderful.
-that little tree was a great home base for hide and seek. the stairwell to the storage units and that section of the building used to give me the creeps all the time. I spoke with mom today and we had a good little walk down memory lane. we lived there from 1973-1982'ish, some of the families that lived there when we did - the McLeod's, Bill & Betty Spence with their 2 boys, Rick & Trudy McNiven with their 2 boys, the Barton's with her 2 boys, the Sanderson's, Laura Given, the Hancock's and their 2 girls. So many wonderful memories. all of our friends from the area
-I know a few people who lived there
-I lived there once upon a time
-Is this the same building where Al worked making fiberglass boats??? (On John St next Silver creek??)
-Had always heard it was a boat manufacturer....I guess maybe after the shoe factory
-wasn't that next door, before that became apartments too?
-Possibly......was a big house with a large garage type building behind it when I lived in the long building
-yes.. I believe it is
-I too lived there
-Apartments on Mill street , across from Kiyo's parking lot.
-That's right , they did change John to Mill. I'll never understand why but that's exactly what they did. (???????????)
-we will never no why the Town People make there decision's. It seem's the Honk tunnel is where John street stops
-I do understand fully what you mean about these gestapo like decisions. John always ended at Bucks corner at (John) and number seven. John is the street the rink was built on, Harley's garage was located on John, and so on,😡😡😡😡 There, that's my grouch for today!!! 😁😁😁(O:
-Used to fish chub at the the culvert close by
-That creek now is full of big bows and browns in the spring
-Would make a special trip up from stoney creek just to get one of those from there
-Got couple over 10 lbs
-Caught a 14 inch brown at the little footbridge above the culvert. As a kid ,, I thought it was a whale.
-1925 is the date showing on one of the culvert updates
-Boy,, for a little town we sure did pull our weight in industry. Yes,,, I have always been proud as hell of Georgetown.
-Richard -That would have been prior to the two major support buttresses flanking the main arch being installed. The reason I say that is because most of the kids (self included) watched with great interest as the columns were pored by a railway crew of 50 or perhaps more young construction workers all housed in living / dinning / sleeping cars parked nearby for the period of construction. That must have been in the early 50s.
-Has anyone found maps or sketches from before the railway cut through town and divided the town?
