Excellent video.Lots of good info in a short time. Thanks.

[@gottruth5359]

Having grown up in Calgary, I really appreciated this video. Thank you for the great work.

[@onelittleplum]

I love these videos SO MUCH.

[@markqurf]

Wow, I would've never guessed that little church right by Fish Creek Lacombe Station would be one of the oldest buildings in Calgary. Amazing work, man!

[@gullie.]

Me Neither!

[@ellis8857]

Wow this was great. There's so many building I recognize in your series that I've always been curious about! Thank you for these great videos and keep them coming!

[@joeyhowell1124]

Great job. I appreciate all the work that goes into these videos and learning so many amazing facts about this beautiful city.

[@DugieBoy]

Thanks for creating and sharing such an awesome video. We can see you put a lot of research and work into these.

[@quoththeraven3985]

Basements of Steven Ave. 20 years ago I had a lot of Friends that worked in shops on Steven ave. They say there is an old underground subway that connects all the buildings. They said the passage was bricked up into basement storage rooms for each shop.

[@XxDinnerxX]

Keep making these! I love these snippets of Calgary's history.

[@stevendorscher2818]

This is so good please keep doing it! Love learning about our city !

[@kathyharris1627]

I love your videos as a third generation calgarian I am fascinated by our history and would love to see a video on Ogden (Ceepeear) history as that is where I grew up.

[@Blendeture]

Another fantastic installment!

[@lorenzolio]

I love the subtle effects you added to old photos: falling snow, colorized B&W photos, etc

[@kelsynorman]

Thanks for noticing those things, I love trying to come up with ways to make old photos not so boring.

[@jonnysac77]

Didn't think that gift shop to be anything of significance after the many times I've walked by and visited it, never would've thought it was 135 years old

[@stokedonphotos1]

These are some of my favorite videos! Well produced, great information and entertaining. More please! :D

[@pastorfergus]

Very nicely done, Kelsy.. I appreciated all the video - especially the part about St. Paul's Historic Chapel, as I'm the Incumbent Priest at St. Paul's.

[@MrMonkeyslick]

appreciate the research and effort for this...look forward to more installments by you. thanks!

[@mandalorian2185]

Great job Kels! Enjoyed the Houston one as well.

[@BrodyYYC]

6:28 "wolf, eagle and skeleton shirts." HAHA priceless!!!

[@kelsynorman]

Hahaha you like that hey? Pretty funny .

[@PUX420]

no love for trop? those guys have owned the place so long they are part of calgary history now aswell..

[@stringbean2001]

Great, thanks for another informative and fun video!!

[@lulucanpy3513]

Hey, you got yourself a new subscriber! I love learning about my city. I think it would be really interesting to go into depth on the Mount Royal and Elbow Park neighbourhoods, since I know they used to be "cottage lands"

[@christoombes7875]

Thanks for sharing another great video

[@hankklassen4295]

My home town.

[@zoogeer]

Awesome Stuff Kelsy!

[@xSheravenx]

Another fantastic work of art and history from you! Thank you for undertaking these research projects and sharing them with us in such a captivating way.

[@remusomega]

Nice work Kelsy

[@thomashayes507]

I think the Patrick Burns you mention at about 4:45 had a historic building named after him that was almost demolished in the early 1980’s. I was a high rise plumber / pipe fitter in Calgary at the time (I worked on the AGT building ... now “Telus” I think ... and First Canadian Plaza Bank of Montreal building) and remember the “save the Burns Building” campaign! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burns_Building

[@devonmoore2774]

Very interesting and great videos. My only suggestion would be to show the locations on a map prior to diving into their history. I live in Calgary, but am not familiar with their actual locations in the City.

[@kelsynorman]

I decided to put their addresses instead of showing where they are on a map, only so people would look them up themselves and be more active participants in the experience. Thanks for watching!

[@KittyChanU2]

Excellent video. Great research Thank you for all your work I will share and subscribe 😎👍

[@alicepearce4597]

Very well done video. Thank you.

[@raincoast2396]

Mostly forgotten. The site of where now the rebuilt Fort Calgary and surrounding park, used to be the Canadian National Railway Yards. With attendant warehouses and trucking terminal.

[@muddshshshark]

Spy Hill still there? spent a couple months there in the late 70's p

[@sgo8563]

I also am a third generation Calgarian and my kids and grandkids are fourth and fifth generation that also live in Calgary. I loved the video, but was wondering if any houses at Heritage Park are as old as the houses mentioned. I know Herirage Park has some older houses from different towns and the houses were moved to Heritage Park and totally re-done.

[@delusionsofgrandeur1330]

Can you do a more in-depth video on Edworthy? I’ve always wondered about the house located feel in there

[@iamalmightyme]

very well done! thanks for the video :)

[@judimaceachen9299]

Hi Kelsey. I am looking for a photo of the Gordon Eddie store that as located on 1st in the Grain Building.

[@gwillie86]

dude these vids are sick!

[@blairburnsg8258]

Love this stuff keep it up

[@darryldarwent3676]

Very well done. This is what Calgarians need.

[@MikeAndrews75]

Awesome channel man!!!

[@Nash-64SdV]

I learned quite a bit from the video, thank you for that. I am surprised though, to not have seen any mention of the Enoch Sales residence. Perhaps that's for another video?

[@kelsynorman]

Watch the Victoria Park video.

[@kahwigulum]

Thanks for this video. Very fascinating stuff. I know that the brick fence located here in Killarney along 26 Street SW goo.gl/maps/ZGGUB6g4pyC2 is the remnants of the original brick fence and gate that used to be surround the Killarney Ranch before it was annexed by the COC in 1910 and developed for housing at the beginning of WWI. That ranch went all the way around from that spot to where the Westbrook Walmart is now and back. I've been told (and haven't be able to verify if it's true) that the original ranch house is still in the neighbourhood, but I couldn't tell you which one it is if it's even still there.

[@sailcat662]

Found out about your series through Reddit! Glad I found it. Start a patreon!

[@guadaloumorris938]

Is the Church working?. Thank you very much, all are very interesting

[@jxavier3876]

Guadalupe Morris kind of... there is no services and stuff but they still do some things in it.

[@AngelFaceMotoRider]

Kumusta Kelsy & Wife, would you two ever consider doing a collaboration video with another youTubber.? If yes or no, I still have a suggestion for a video that I will would fit your motif. - Angel

[@plebyworldmae8993]

I live on calgary

[@DailyEventsWorldwide]

[@CANControlGRAFFITI]

[@frankhuber9912]

Who else here suddenly feels the urge to go investigate that no trespassing sign?

[@martytruelove5026]

It is a wonder these still stand.Tear them down and put up a parking lot (Big yellow Taxi,took away my old man..)
