Magic Mountain


Truro's Magic Mountain is not a pretty sight. Out for my morning walk, I chanced upon the "junk yard" that sits in the middle of town. Yet, no matter how ugly it is, it is magical - they keep carting it away by train but it keeps building up. It never goes away. Sad.

1997 -Special Graduation

Came across some pics of the 1997 Special convocation. Teachers college 1854 - 1997. It was a sad day but also a special weekend. Saw many former students from over the years and across the province.

Walk in the Park

Although these pictures suggest the tranquility one can find in the park, a lot of people use it. Perhaps my early morning walk allowed me to get these pictures without people in them. The park is a real gem.

Railroad Heritage

Do you know where this monument is situated ? You probably drive by it without even being aware. That's one of the advantages of walking. This tribute to Truro's railroad heritage was erected on the Esplanade in 1984. It's across the street from Carsands and Truro video, on one side of the Mattatall-Varner Parking Lot and not far from the curling rink.

Stumbled across Margolians website (www.margolians.ca) today with this picture. It's august. Must be time for the Back-to-School Sales. 20 % Off everything in the Store. Will it be more by exhibition time. A great store and an Institution in Truro.
