[edit] adjustment to caption

Just curious why the excision of the reference to Sinclair Centre? I know there's no article yet, which surprised me when I saw the redlink (esp. given the building's labour politics history). It was just, other than the Marine Building, the only thing easily recognizable in the photo, and is of coruse a significant building; I provided the reference originally so people who might know the intersection could more easily orient themselves.Skookum1 06:53, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

T'weren't me. looks like you put it in the edit summary but forgot to stick it in the caption. Anyway, I agree it's a significant building, and would like to get around to doing up some more building articles. (See my comment at requested articles). I'm also starting a list here, not to duplicate the reqested articles list, but to try and approach the subject systematically. FYI, the architect who's doing the Woodward's building made his mark in town by renovating the Sinclair Centre. Also, VPL has loads of photos from the 1938 post office riot (also needs an article) from the Province, methinks. Bobanny 07:49, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

I added the picture yesterday, the first archive pic of many I'm hoping to eventually add. But I included just a very brief caption, which Skookum1 kindly supplemented within ten minutes! Never saw any mention of Sinclair in the actual caption though. A definite future addition to the local wiki architecture portfolio...Cheers.--Keefer4 09:54, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Map(s)

A basic location map showing Hastings on the city grid is de rigeur, but if I can find a usable closeup basemap I'll make the start of a local map from about Gore to Thurlow, so that individual buildings and sites of former buildings can be marked; many notables, even in small businesses, in this area; incl. the Ovaltine and the Only, for instance...never mind the Amsterdam Cafe now...(history sections on different eras in the life of the street would also be good).Skookum1 18:33, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
