    Este video esta MUCHO Mejor....muestra la via principal o rue principale que es la mas importante de Granby. El video es un poco borrozo lastima, pero, nos muestra lo urbano mas emblematico de la ciudad.

    Be honest, you clicked on this and thought it was the Colorado town where a reasonable man did an unreasonable thing

    I grew up in Granby during the 1970s and early 1980s, when we moved away during the English exodus when the French separatists came in and ruined everything. It was seriously the best place on Earth back then to grow up as a kid. Some of those landmark buildings and restaurants are still there and it's comforting to see that some things have not changed.
    To the naysayers complaining about what an ugly town it is, this footage begins on the Western end or Rue Principal (Main Street) which was mostly newer and more industrial, going towards the eastern part of the town is where you have the older Granby and much more beautiful especially once you get off Main Street, with gorgeous old mansions and manor homes, Lac Boivin, Victoria Park, The Brownie Mansion, wide British planned streets, beautiful old cemeteries, old bike paths deep in the forest, mountains like in Waterloo, Saxby, and Shefford, and plenty of farms outside to go apple-picking in the fall and strawberry or blueberry picking in the summer. Thank you for posting this, it brings back so many happy childhood memories.

      My parents left in 1965 for London, along with many others. My grandfather worked at Miner's Rubber. Born in 1968, I never lived there but Granby has always been a part of me...

      @@TomSamworth There was still a vibrant English-speaking community in Granby until I'd say 1984. We left in 1982 during the recession and when all the manufacturing and factory jobs started to disappear. My dad used to work at Montrose Textiles. Parkview Elementary is still there but now teaches bilingually. After the recession of 1982, all the anglos or English-speaking allophone immigrants started to leave and headed for the West Island of Montreal or Ontario or Alberta and by 1984 they were gone. If you go to Granby now, it's 95% French now. Many of them who have settled there come from the hinterland and backwaters of Quebec, like Charlevoix and the Beauce and are not originally from the Eastern Township and are completely clueless about the English and Scottish heritage of the town.
