This view is rarely found and shows a fair number of people on the street, although it does not appear that there was anything unusual going on. The more popular postcard of the tram coming up the hill was taken from the same viewpoint.

This postcard is direct evidence that the Torry family used Waldren's photos for their postcards. The Waldren Studio was almost directly across the street and the Torry's often used Waldren's for their family photos. West Side Park is located on the right hand side of the road, just after you cross the bridge, heading from downtown New Glasgow toward the "West Side". This park is also known as Carmichael's Terrace or West Side Terrace.
This card was mailed to Miss B. W. L. Eaton, Kingston, King's County, NS. The sender writes "Interested in writing but will send this instead. Hoping you are OK and (2 words illegible) Sunday. Jane(?) L."

Postmark: Jan 11, 1909, New Glasgow, NS
This card was mailed to Miss Jannette(?) S. Mosley, 39 Race Street, Bristol, Connecticut. The sender dated the card Jan 11, 1909 and wrote "Please exchange scenes with a downeastern. Sincerely, A. Calder Ross, Box 100, Stellarton, Nova Scotia."
This very popular "scene" by Waldren appeared on quite a few postcards by different publishers, over the years. This particular card is called Sinclairs Corner, but this intersection was also known locally as Carmichael's Corner. This view looks down the hill toward the George Street Bridges, and you can see that the streetcar tracks turned a the top of the hill and headed west toward Stellarton and Westville. The Sobeys plaza is now located on the lot to the left of the trees.
