120 years in Truro

Want something old ? Want something new ? Want to fix something ? Try Walker's! It's a hardware store and it's an institution in Truro.

This year they are celebrating 120 years in business.

I had meant to capture a picture of the store but got their web page instead. I will take my own picture one of these days and maybe exchange it.

Walker's - congratulations.

PNC - Postcard

Have you searched eBay for postcards in its collectables section ? When I'm low in picture ideas I do a Middleton or Truro Search, and there are usually interesting items. I know several people who are collectors. Here's one of the Provincial Normal College in its heyday.

Five Island Lighthouse

Recently the Five Island Lighthouse Society received a provincial award for the work they have done in preserving the Five Island Lighthouse. This wonderful photo showing the lighthouse in its new location, the islands in the distance and a wonderful sky was taken in 2008. Great picture, Vera. Congratulations to the society!

World Curling Title!

World Champions! Colleen Pinkney and her rink from Truro, pictured here after winning the Canadian Senior Women's Curling Championship, won the World Championship held this past week in Russia. Congratulations! Maybe we'll see a picture of the World trophy soon. (picture taken from a Bing Image Search Site.)

All Stars

Here are a couple of TC Cartoons from the past, celebrating sports accomplishments: some soccer all-starts and the Female Hawks are off to the Nationals. These should bring back memories to those at TC in the 80s.
