Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada

[@gentlegiants1974]

I was born in Picton in 74, moved to a farm in 86, we left the County in 94, 2 years after I graduated from PECI. I moved back briefly for work in 2011-2013 and was appalled at the changes. The traffic, the garish gentrification, and the skyrocketing real estate. It was not my home as I recalled it. I guess you can't go back. Like the train whistle on a summer's day coming across the fields...it is all gone now. But I still recall the old times. Going into Masterfeeds to get feed and supplies, across the road to the hardware store for nails, John's barber shop for a haircut, Teasels for a milkshake at the lunch counter... Good memories. My people are in Glenwood now. I need to pay them a visit in the spring.

I spent my summers there with my grandparents. I’d forgotten how quiet times were back then. Thanks for sharing this visual scrapbook of my youth!

I live here thanks for posting this.

All of these "BeaverCreekPictures" videos look like they were recorded in the 80's. As such they're kind of a glimpse back into the last good years of a country, and culture that is dying now. I go for motorcycle trips down to Prince Edward County once or twice a year. One of the things I like is how little it changes from year to year. Some expensive looking retirement communities are being built now. But that's about it.

This was recorded in 1987, so indeed, it is a glimpse into our past and what the locals born in The County have lost over the last 10+ years. It will never be the same.

It's too bad it's been pretty much destroyed by GTA retirees and so unaffordable, that families whom have lived there for centuries can no longer afford to live there.
