When I was born, Sussex had four car dealerships: Norad's Chrysler, Lamb Ford, Clark's Oldsmobile and another that sold Chevs (I can't remember its name). The building below used to be Norads which moved near the high school, Lamb Ford recently shut down and was replaced by another Ford dealership on the outskirts of town. Its former location is now the future site of a Wal Mart (don't get me started). The other two, which were downtown, merged to creat Clarks's Chev/Olds which is right beside Norad's. Clark's is now a church and the other has been...

Home Pt. 2: Bills Corner Grocery

author: CE : Sussex, NB

Next in my series from my visit to my hometown of Sussex (I'm happily back in Fredericton now) is a place that was very familiar to me. Just down the street from the mini home I lived in for quite a few years and also near other places I've lived in the past is a place now known as Bill's Corner Grocery. When I was a kid, this place was called Mac's Grocery. It was owned by the post-master for Sussex Corner whom I will talk about further down. After CanadaPost decreed that mail service is no...

author: CE : Sussex, NB

I'm back in my hometown of Sussex for the weekend visiting family. I've been out of the town for about two years now having lived here for 18 long and boring years. Today, for the first time ever, I decided to take some pictures of the town I spent most of my life in. These pictures come with mixed emotions. Nostalgia of the past; things have changed so much and so little in the last two years, it kinda freaks me out. Frustration; I hated this town so much and it brings back some bad memories....

Dog on the Counter

author: CE : Fredericton, NB

My girlfriend and I were walking around downtowntoday. After eating, we went into a convenience store called Mazzuca's which is quite a well known place in Fredericton. As we were choosing chocolate bars, a little girl with her dad and their little dog came in the store. The first thing she did was put her dog up on the counter. She talked with the man behind the counter (who I think is Mazzuca himself) who pulled out a container full of dog treats. He crushed them up and gave them to the dog. I guess...

I don't really have time to be making a post but it's been a slow weekend on here So I'll make a quick post from my trip to Montreal a couple months ago. These are all from the borough of Notre-Dame-de-Grace which is the highest populated borough in the city and is also very anglo. Most of these pictures are from rue Sherebrooke. My reason for being here was to visit my friend who works at a co-op on Sherbrook. If you ever make it to Montreal, go to a place called Burrito National. It's a vegitarian...
