The New Irving Station

Some of the town fathers are a bit sorry they allowed this relocation but these big boys are hard to stop. Next door and east of The Teazer.

The Teazer

The Teazer is a gift shop standing next door and east of that Victorian. No it is not an adult parenphenalia store but a gift shop. The name is from our famed "fire ship" the supposed revanter of a privateer burned in these waters a couple of centuries ago.

The Mahone Bay School

Seen with telephoto from Edgewater, peering between several stores on Main Street. From the elevation of this building it is obvious that Mahone Bay is sited on a number of intersecting drumlins, making for a hilly town site.

Victorian on Edgewater Street

Edgewater intersects with Main and runs parallel to Orchard but one block south east.

Thus view is from the same point of view

but looking east. There is a current teahouse at the left. These folk are moving to the new building.

From the junction with Orchard.

The southern end of Orchard Street

Looking back along the street in a north easternly direction. The two houses mentioned below appear on the left. The view is from the junction with Main and Water Street.

The Old Station

Usewd to think this was the former train station but the reference sign on the building refers to the old Irving Gas Station. The train station was north west at the edge of town.

Teahouse of the January Moon

at Mahone Bay Nova Scotia. There isn't enough snow or cold weather to wrap these construction projects in plastic this winter.

The Global Warming Thing

Some folks say it isn't so. I have been living in Maritime Canada for the best part of a century and can tell you that people did not used to create new buildings in January. In the middle of the last century, I never saw ivy growing with this much exuberance.
