NEAT! The 3 red and white smoke stacks at the Tufts cove generating station seen today, are only 2 and a half @1:51. The 3rd is just being built and about half done.

[@bowlanon]

At 4:22, the footage goes to the Northwest Arm, starting with the Haligonian II. Great video; thanks for sharing it!

[@hotshot902]

Just after that is what I believe is Medjuck's red chinese junk.

Ah the old FINA refinery tank....remember it well.

[@w9x7cv3vg6]

great shows Fenwick twrs that was built in 1971,we lived right next to it

[@hamiltonontkeith]

nocturnal cat I remember it being built as well, there was a fire on one of the bottom floors, it was half way built then, it delayed the work for a while. I lived on Birmingham st. and went to Saint Mary's school on Morris st. at the time. Everyday I watched it being built from the school yard, it was something else

Even though it is still called the ghetto in the sky, you pay hooker rent for your piece of the ghetto in the sky. Remember gentrification is so 90's. We prefer 'build back better.'

Everyone's smoking cigarettes and sporting killer sideburns!!!

[@SilentKnight43]

Ah yes, Mulgrave Park area. In the early/mid 70s my father was executive director at the Halifax Police Boys Club. Spent a lot of time there in my youth...knew a lot of the kids from Mulgrave.

[@hamiltonontkeith]

My wife remembers joining the first day it opened, it cost 1 dollar for the year, the line up was down Devonshire Ave. she thinks the executive director name was Ron.

[@hamiltonontkeith]

All the group leaders were mostly Law students

[@SilentKnight43]

@@hamiltonontkeith Ron Johnson, yep. He was the first director when it first opened. Would've been sometime in 1972. Lotsa fond memories of that place. The color scheme inside was wild, lol.

hi, I know it sounds odd but I just brought an old letterman jacket and I'm trying to understand its history, I was wandering if you could help me identify if I'm looking in the right place. the patchwork says its from the maritime campus store Halifax Canada - thanks Molly

[@hamiltonontkeith]

Hi Molly, sorry, but the Maritime Campus Store, on Quinpool Rd. in Halifax, has closed it's doors.www.thecoast.ca/Shoptalk/archives/2011/03/31/maritime-campus-store-appears-to-have-closed. www.imprintableclothes.com/maritimecampus/b.jsp?id=2632&parentId=412...

I remember the 70's as being a much happier time. It is just youth or was the high of the Trudeau years really better? The 80's sucked IMO. Although personally they weren't so terrible. I really feel like the conservative backlash of Reagan, Thatcher and Mulroney ruined things.

[@w9x7cv3vg6]

great...shots taken from mulgrave park area too

[@hamiltonontkeith]

That's the first thing that I saw everyday, when I opened my door. I lived at 157 "F" Block, from 1967 to 1978. My Grandfather took this video back in the early 70's.

[@bluewhaletoca8619]

The ending was so scary!!
