The great Halifax "I remember when" thread

[cormiermax]

So I got the idea from the I remember when thread over on the Regina forum, and thought it would be great to have it here on the Halifax boards.

Basically the idea is you say something about Halifax that has now changed, Example: (I remember when the Super Store on Quinpool was an IGA)

Any pictures to go along with it are highly encouraged.

Ill go first.

I remember when...

There was a large Xerox sign on one of the Purdy's wharf towers, many people still call Purdy's wharf the "Xerox Towers"

When the waterfront Marriot was a Sheraton, and included the original Casino Nova Scotia.
