Georgetown, Ontario

Back in the Day

ByCorliss Ambrey

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
Georgetown is still on the map, up the Credit River from the city. The rest is not on any street. Three blackballs for a penny at Joe's. A booth at Stan's. The smell of the old arena, a cone at the Dairy Queen, a dozen from Sykes, the white bridge over the tracks and a ride down Hungry Hollow with your stomach left at the top. Fifty-one chapters about the Georgetown you grew up in: Main Street and the Delrex, the corner stores and the drive-ins, the arena and the pool, the schools and the first jobs, the mills and the factories, and the small things nobody ever wrote down. The names are real and the streets are real. For anybody who grew up in Georgetown, or left and never quite finished thinking about it.
