Wow ... Seagram lands are looking pretty empty in those last couple of photos!

I remember getting a bit "car sick" more than once on the old trolleys. They provided a very jerky ride!

As a somewhat of a fire fighting equipment enthusiast, I'm thrilled to see what they were using back then.

I walked or rode my bike past Waterloo City Hall on my way to swimming lessons at the Waterloo Park pool in the 1960s.

Interesting that both Kitchener and Waterloo moved their city offices into spaces built by mall developers, before building their own city halls again.

Is Waterloo's current City Hall owned by the City, or do they lease the space?

I think in both cases, the Cities intended to build new City Halls, but it took a while to come up with the right plan, location and funding. I believe that both Cities now own their City Halls outright.

I know Cambridge and Kitchener leased office space... but where was Waterloo's before their current location?
