    I recognized the spot at 14:29. That skating rink is in the Glebe, between Third Ave and Fourth Ave just behind Corpus Christi. It was still operating in the early 70's when I lived there. In the summer it was basically an "empty" lot where we played catch or football. Still still there too I think. Not sure if it belonged to the city or one of the school boards.
    Hmm ... some of the kids skating there might have become parents of the kids I was skating around with 30 years later.

    This video is really cool and gives you an inner look as to what the city looked like before but also remember that woman didn’t get the right to vote in Quebec until 1960’s and all the fresh goods that are now sold in the marketplace are now bought wholesale from other places and resold to make profit. All of Lebreton flats and around Tunney’s Pasture used to be neighbourhoods with family owned stores that were forced to leave so that the city would have more room for industrial development but because the city ran out of money, just ended up selling it to condo developers to make profit. Ottawa used to be a great city because of its resources but because the majority of politicians have been corrupted, they’ve ran the whole province into the grounds towards the point of not even being able to pay contractors for the new LRT. Our city is lacking in social assistance like housing and medical aid and is gentrifying areas instead of dealing with the issues it’s caused. I see a lot of racist comments on here that just don’t apply because if our city had a good foundation for welcoming new cultures into our province, we wouldn’t have crumbled so easily. Our whole country is unorganized, greedy and drug fueled and I hate to tell you but if you think that it’s just the lower class that had drug issues, you should really pay more attention to the people in government and parliament.

On Sunday’s, In the early 70’s my father would take us kids to “Pee’n Point” as we called it. I don’t remember a single tree there then. It was always the place we wanted to go?

      mark demell for snowboarding on a fresh powder day or night and for mountain biking - specifically downhill mountain biking, it is the best around. Challenging, technical and prepares you for pretty much all terrain for biking or boarding across the country.

      When I was a kid in the 70s and 80s growing up in Montreal the boys competed in sports and games outside all day. That's all we did and all we wanted to do. Doing anything else was considered boring. The girls were nowhere to be found - outside that is. I don't know why, but that's the way it was. Your comment made me realize this for the first time.
