- There was a lot of partying going on down in the Hungry Hallow back in my day, brings back a lot of memories(fun ones)
- What happened in Hungry Hollow Stays in Hungry Hollow !
-Cycled up & down those hills many times... tuff & dangerous
-I was hoping to come across an old photo of how 9th line used to look through the Hollow. I've explained driving through there many times to my kids... "No there wasn't always a massive bridge here." Thanks for posting.
-My husband learned to drive a standard on that hill.
-So did I!!
-Loved Hungry hollow hill.
- Will always remember the first time I rode my bike down that hill!!
-When I learning to drive a full size school bus, we were always taken to this hill. The first time I drove down it in the bus, I was terrified! Believe me, it was WAY steeper than it looked.
-I got my bike wheel caught in one of the rivulets in the dirt road and wrecked my bike and my knee
-Great pic. I remember that
-It was a far better time !!!
-Oh my brings back memories
-Thanks for the memories
-Heading out of town on an icy winter morning, drivers took turns,each waiting at the top to see if the car in front made it up the other side before they started down. Over the years I got stuck at the bottom twice.
-yes we did
-Remember it very well 😁
-Shocking how it all is now!
-If you left town, via Hungry Hollow, just as you got out of the hollow there was a small trail on the left side, could get your car on. It took you up a big mount of dirt that we would park our cars in the top. We would sit up there and drink.
-Yup. I got stung by a bunch of bees 🐝 there. 😁👍
-About 1960. It was still real steep. I was 5
Delete or hide this
-in 1975 it was still steep and not paved
-it was stjll there in 1978, I can't remember when it changed
-Bridge opened in August 1996.
-Your photo shows the fence Bruce McLaughlin put up to pressure the town to let him build the land he bought from Rex Heslop that is now south Georgetown.
-That's how it should have stayed !!
-Big difference. Remember the old road verry well
-I remember our son Jason went down on his bike and wiped out at the bottom when it was steep....to the hospital he went....stitches behind the ear....
-Tales of the old man ghost
-Loved that hill. Right in town and it's country.
-Loved driving “out of towners” down the hill & up the other side - FAST. Mostly to see the terrified look on their faces and see if they shat their pants!
- Lol. I thought I was the only one. 😂👍
-So well written and succinctly depicted. Yup!!
-Winter time was a blast on this hill
-Walking to the plowing match while in was a student in Centennial Middle, ... vivid memory.
-I remember being friends cars before I was 16 and it was still dirt with a 1 lane bridge at the bottom around 1976. When I got my license in 77 it was a chip and tar surface till sometime in the early to mid 80s when they changed the hill and put in the 2 culverts. It wasn’t very long with 2 culverts and I believe the Ontario Government redid it, as it is today.
-good party spot
-The edge of town
-Yes it used to be beautiful!
-When it was a dirt road that's when it was really hungry hollow. Once the asphalt was on they changed the grades a lot. It was never the same. Better for traffic though.
-Those woods were my playground
-Yes used to camp down there when we were kids.
-Thinking back I was 10 and my older brother was 12 and we used to sleep down by the river.
- I remember it well😳🌞
-Remember riding up and down. Going down was easy. Going up was the hard part. Lom
-I didn't move to Gtown till 1985, but it scared me back then.
-spent many a days in those woods...fun times...great memories
-Isn't there another picture of you trudging up this hill at the head of a line from Centennial?
-yepper..walking to the plowing match
-I remember riding our bikes just to the top of the hill then getting off, straightening our handle bars up and letting our bikes go to see who's bike made it the furthest before falling. 😁
-Partied down there once or 300 times
-.is there a river down there? Silver creek?
-Partied at the south top side.....shit plant......was great ....one road in and one road out......always had time to ditch the booze and pot when you saw a cop coming up the drive!!!! drove them crazy!!!
-The credit river
-No..really? Are you sure?
Delete or hide this
-The Black creek meanders that way too...its been decades since I've walked fished these creeks, I just don't remember. If there is water it isn't wide or deep.
-Yes, yes...I recall now, cheers. Silver creek it is indeed.
-You know I was thinking and ime not positive that stream goes over to the 8th line and the credit goes through Norval. I think your right. 😁
-Yep. It’s silver creek 😁👍
-It is a confusing river system. The Credit river (Named for the Mississauga "of good credit' first nations people btw.) is an arguably straight run south of the paper mill dam to the lake, but the Silver and Black creeks seem to hit all points of the compass depending on where you are on the creek in Georgetown. Lol.
-Ya know Sean. I used to live on Sargent rd when I was a kid. We played down there in the valley all the time. 😁👍
-Seems to me, everyone who grew up in Georgetown in the 70's and 80's spent a lot of time in the creeks and rivers catching crayfish, fishing, building 'forts'...generally screwing around, out of parental purview. :)
-On the way to Rubber Road... anyone have a picture of it with all the rubber tire marks?
- omg that brings back some memories😊😳
-before my time the road was paved
-Nobody wants to make it an historic site!
-My old play ground!
-Back in the early 70s,I use to live in the hollow,loved it
-brings back a lot of memories eh Dave😊
-My son has been away several years and last week he wanted a trip to see hungry hallow we passed through it and he said how it’s changed over the years ,
-First ever speeding ticket was had going up this hill back into town.....was spittin' gravel when I came back up over the top and low and behold Brian Farrow (I think his name was) was just leaving his house after stopping in for lunch and heard me coming up the hill......could only nail me with a 10 over for 2 reasons........one he didn't have his radar on and two.........no body could be going much more than that as they came over THAT hill........lol
-Brian Farrell was his name Jim Cummins
-Oooo-- Brian Farrell...That name strikes fear! Back to therapy
-God we thought it was the biggest hill ever!
-I sure did😳😊
-Had a lot of good partys there ,,with a cold one.
-I remember watching cars trying to reach the tops just after a snowfall and sliding back to the valley or the car behind trying the same stunt. Tow trucks could just sit at the top and rake in the cash.
-OMG I echo Richard's comment. I totally got stuck on that hill!
-And right about here was the end of the most failed cop chase I was ever in resulting in a 6 point speeding ticket and the never ending hatred of a local Police Constable many of us remember (fondly) 1978.
-Late 50's to early 60's I recall roaring down the gravel road, two friends as well, the aim being how far up the opposite side you could get without pedalling! If you made it that far even. We left a lot of skin on that hill.
-Dirt road back in then days!
- The Hollows have been much improved and made more accessible in recent years by the Town
-Not in my mind.....as an old (and I do mean old 63) Georgetown born and raised I would have loved to see it left the way it was.....I know that safety wise it was a good thing the town did by redoing the hills but you have to remember that us old farts want to keep our memories alive.......lol
- Its a Regional Road, (Halton), not a town road.
- safer yes, improved no.
-This was the one hill I couldn’t make it to the top of on my bike riding in from “the sticks”
-GREAT PLACE TO GO GO-KARTING AND SLEDDING
-I remember the silly fun back in the mid/late 70's of stating at the top and building up as much speed as possible to hit neutral at the bridge and see if you could coast all the way up the other side.
