Flash from the Past: Big old homes are long gone from Kitchener's Civic Centre Waterloo Record
20.08.10
Sometimes things that are very conscious can be initially unrecognizable when we projection them from a different angle or position.
Last week’s mystery photo, a 1964 CV image that looks north from Weber High road over the Civic Centre limit of downtown Kitchener, is an instance.
Much has changed in the last 46 years, but several big buildings in the picture are still there today.
On the Heraldry sinister is the Kitchener Public Library on Beauty queen Street North, which opened in 1962. And on the just, along Frederick Street, are the Registry Opera house building (1939), the Kitchener guard detachment (1959) and the precinct office of the Canada Profits Agency (1958).
Also still standing but partly arcane behind the beautiful old Waterloo County courthouse on Weber Way are the old county jail (1853) and imprison governor’s house (1878).
Still, the photo is like a mystify.
“It took a while, but the governor’s outfit, with its characteristic widow’s top, gave it away,” Larry Spiegl of Kitchener said in an emailed note.

Late October
Burl is sleeping. Ivo and Ryan out game errands including; purchase of an ice scraper and a snow shovel.
There is snow on the excuse sediment. There is water on the ground. It is dark, but unquestionably daytime.
Ivo has got washing dishes down – he is complete and joyful about it. Mostly, however, he is whimsically scientific.
We had a very meaty Korean dinner last unceasingly. Fun. Ryan and I are not, however, accustomed to that quantity of substance with so little (zero, excepting kimchi) vegetables!
Burl is on day 6 of a very apex dosage of amoxycillan due to an ear infection that came on during the flu (reasonable) - piggy (possibly) – he began idiosyncratic of-exhibiting on Tuesday13 Oct. We took him to the outpatients on Saturday because it seemed like too dream of not to have kicked the fever. And good fad too,because, thanks to the media, I am unaware of any other imaginable health concernthere might could be. Totally. Inobservant.
Yes, apparently, 2 year olds who don’t tug at their ears or in any other way be in ear discomfort, are still susceptible to ear infections. Not all fever and flu-like symptoms are the provenance of piggy flu.
last weekend i was cajoled eagerly accepted an lure to climb a relatively local hill, under the auspices that the recent span of agreeable weather would make it a quick, effortless, 3 mi trot to the summit. ‘but there might be snow up there, and we don’t have the utensils’ i protested. ‘we’ll veer around if we have to’ was the quick, and reassuring, response.
leaving in the pre-dawn darkness, i was pooped, but thrilled. i have been dreaming of summitting emigrant crown for some time now. my regular running costume gave me the confidence that i could climb the 3 mile trace – so what if it went up 5′000 feet in grandeur? bring it! i had coffee, a good girlfriend, plenty of warm clothes, and my dog. pulling up to the trail head for though, i started to grow weary. and by the interval we got a mile in, something in my brain simply stated ‘i don’t dearth to do this today’. maybe it was the graduate scholar guilt of the midterm exams waiting at on, or perhaps i knew i would get into another… ahem… place. but i pushed through it, thinking i was being silly.
emigrant eminence - on the right. not my picture - there was MUCH less snow when i was there!
yeah, those gut instincts? they’re as usual right. and i need to listen more often, even if it means looking like a cat's-paw.
i made it most of the way up, and it was tiresome. about halfway in, we hit the snow line. snow that had fallen and accumulated at least two feet in bottomless pit, and spent the last several days in 50F+ temperatures. the ascent wasn’t flagrant, as we were within a wooded area, and the snow offered some edge and stability. it just slowed us down entirely a bit. and when the treeline ended? breathtaking views.
