Hello K-man, first of all, I noticed your total number of posts so far is 2, so I'd like to say welcome to the forum!
Your post is intriguing to me, as I always thought the Forum had lost some of its character during the renovations over the years (especially the windows!) and I have always liked the building. I recall going there many times over the years right back into the early 1970s for the Atlantic Winter Fair, and watching the Nova Scotia Voyageurs play in that building, among other things like the spring Speed Sport car shows, and Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling (
)!
A couple of notes:
- There have been many posts about historic Halifax in this thread:
http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showthread.php?t=143037&page=49. I recall posting a large aerial of the Forum, showing the track, in that thread. I will see if I can find it when I have a little time.
- The photo of the Scotia Chev used car dealer you posted looks to be from the mid 1960s, given that I'm seeing a lot of 1959-models on the lot, and it's a used car shop.
I love mysteries like this, and so when I get a chance, I'll join in and see what I can find to bring this to light.
