The Lighter Side / Canadian WDYTYA #3 - Steven Page
« on: Friday 26 October 07 13:23 BST (UK)  »
So what did everyone think? 

I liked when they talked about St. John's Ward in Toronto, I had no idea that it was considered the "slums".

It was interesting to see when he went back to Poland and the records in Russian.

Hi there,

I just thought I would post a link for those that live in the GTA that tommorrow night, Sept. 7, 2007 is the Illumination for the Sharon Temple.  It is the 175th anniversary of the Sharon Temple. 

They light the temple with candles in every window and it is a sight to be seen, really beautiful.  The only do it once a year.

Hi there,

I've recently been given this photograph which is on the back of a postcard.  I have an idea of what I think the year may be, but would like others opinion please. 

On the back of the postcard, it say "Jerome" branches everywhere.  Does anyone know if there was a Jerome Studio in Birmingham?

Thanks,
Karen

Hi there,

What would an American soldier be doing in Ontario, Canada in 1944?  Was there training in Ontario that American's took part in?  Any ideas?

Thanks,
