You're very kind to say so...but I think "spotty" would be a more accurate term these days..

Anyway, what that shot of Barrington in the rain really made me think of was, ironically enough, Gottingen Street. In that era it was still a very active shopping street and hosted a fairly spectacular concentration of neon signs for blocks on end. Great memories...the French Casino was the first ostensibly "upscale" restaurant I can remember being taken to (Halifax didn't have many back then). I would've been 6 0r 7, maybe. It had one of the coolest neon signs on the street.

Also, though I thought I remembered downtown quite well, I have absolutely no recollection of "Leeds". Must've disappeared before I was of an age to remember such things.
