I remember when it was like this, was just a kid but it's cool to see, who's the guy talking? the bay rules, it's what you make of it just like anywhere. thanks for the video.

@gumbootiner Hey! That is my father doing the commentary. Back then, consumer video recorders were a brand new thing - we couldn't afford one, but my parents rented one for a week. Not knowing what to do in the videos, my father did alot of hilarious commentary!

"Son take a good look around...this is your home town"

Spent the best days of my life in the Bay.

The drunks and druggies were always there, now its just a new generation thats all.

Peace.

[ch3rryb3rry]

ps- "coal dust days" is New Waterford's event and obviously you havent been here in a while, we are not all druggies or drug pusher tyvm

[BettyK1958]

I remember back 35 yrs ago when I lived by the Miner's Form and I remember the cold dust days and the fun the town had,going to St Anne's School and sitting on the brick wall in front of the church. Where did those years go and now the town is crawling with druggies and drug pushers and people with no where to live. I moved from Glace Bay back in the early 70's would never move back there but might come to visit if I knew anyone there.

[peersmorgen]

wow this sure brings back memories

[DepthWish]

What a fun trip down memory lane. "Taking a shot through town," as they say. Nice job!
