DOWNTOWN SPRYFIELD - DOWNTOWN HALIFAX 1989

[@halifaxmayor]

when I was seven, I used to walk from our house on Williams Lake Road to that Shoopers Drug Mart and read WWF wrestling magazines. A year later we moved right across from South Centre mall. Couple years ago I creconnected with my childhood friend/neighbor from Williams Lake Rd. Thank you for the videos, these are priceless.

Cowie Hill proud :) It was fun seeing the city from back then, thanks for posting this

[@大疯狼]

I used to go roach hunting on Cowie hill back in 2004/2005/2006 - I'd always find hundreds of good roaches, I rarely bought weed because I couldn't afford it (Jobs were like rare gold then)

[@ryandidthis]

It's crazy whoever filmed this probably was just having fun with a camera. Not even knowing they were documenting unreal memories for so many people!

[@hamiltonontkeith]

You're right, I was making memories for my children. There was no social media whatsoever, not even thought of by regular folk! Thank you.

Wow,there's been a lot of changes in Spryfield just since 1989.My Uncle Frank & Aunt Chris lived on Honeydale Crescent for well over 30 years and my Dad grew up there until he was 15.

Holy crap. IGA, Zellers? I remember it all. Tim Horton's and and Harvey's, I remember well. Remember when Wendy's was out here ? Cool video. You have a like !

[@mrceleb2006]

I once saw Zellers when I was in Spryfield on Herring Cove Road back in 1983...the South Centre Mall was then known as the Spryfield Town Centre.

[@joewenham6850]

The old Casino Theater. Saw Star Wars there 8 times, lol

[@MowenMcGuire]

Spryfield hadn't changed much since I've been there last 79 - 89.

[@tipsyjudd9413]

Mowen McGuire this was in 89 and you we’re in that area in 89 so ofc it hadn’t change since you’ve been there

[@jareddent1]

did not realize that there was a Tims and a Harveys in Spry where the Guardian is

[@landrykkb]

+Jared d'Entremont last time I was in Spryfield,there was a Tims in the Southcentrre Mall parking lot,and that's not even a mall anymore.

[@HalifaxHercules]

The Spryfield Harvey's was fantastic. I was disappointed when the Spryfield location went bankrupt in the mid 1990s, and closed its doors for good.
