I've lived here all my life and couldn't imagine being anywhere else. After 43 years there are still many beautiful places I've never seen. Yes some areas of town are not the best but you find that in every city.
I am UK born and lived in SSM from 1968 to 1970. Lived on Goulais Ave. I often look up vids online to see how it has changed as I loved it there. I would LOVE to go back, but that can never happen, sadly. My mother and I have many friends who we still keep in touch with after all these years. You make a friend with a Canadian, you make one for life. Sadly not true of other countries it seems. I was 8 to 10 years old at the time but still have a lot of great memories, jumping off the bridge at Echo Bay (my dad bribed me lol). Driving on the lake at Gros Cap in my dads friend Jerry's Volkswagen Beetle when it was frozen over (not me driving obv). Great times! Miss yoo Soo :(
If you lived near the "townhouses" across the street from Wright St and Munroe Park, PLEASE, get a hold of me STAT!! I'm trying to find out the origin story of how that townhouse came to be, even if its just the smallest detail. I lived there my entire child hood to 18, and have ZERO idea of its history or surrounding area during that time period! Anything at all would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Clean because its actually clean. Because it doesn't show natives and drunks dying in the street and loitering everywhere. God forbid a northern city produces something great! Please tell me? What do you do for a living?
I was born and raised there, from 1966 to 1987. It was a pretty good place to grow up, at least at the time, but there wasn't much oportunities, so, like many of my friends, I left. It seems like a lifetime ago and like another life. But I have many good memories. Hello to friends and family who still live there!
Looks good! I've been there once so far. My husband and I are looking to move there. He works on the Algoma ships so he gets to go through it all the time.
2nd 😊 - the canal looks marvellous and that colourful railway. Amazing train and all those planes and falls. Simply outstanding beauty and place to live. Again, the university building are pretty cool! Not to mention, the fresh produce! Tfs ♥️
@@srrmt1010 I lived there I'm my early 20's and after coming from the Toronto area, I was shocked at how nice and friendly they are up there. It was weird to go from waking up to sirens to waking up to birds singing. I lived on the East End and loved it. I'd give anything to go back.
@@younusalbader9988 My experience soo far!! My Canadian visa got rejected 😅 Applied to USA, got through ; Completing first semester of my masters program by this month in Texas🇺🇸😂❤️
For someone who was born there and visited the Soo because of family still residing there, this was a great video. I have visited most of the attractions you listed on this video. Outside the GFL Memorial Garden (Go Greyhounds) is the Sault Ste. Marie Walk of Fame.
I have only heard good things about the people there and I also have friends that helped me with this video from the Soo. I hope you like it there. Thank you for watching!
Last time I was in Florida I was with some people from the Soo...so true. Happy for TBay and all the fans. I think the best team won. Great team. Thank you for watching and hope you are keep well. We are lifting restrictions slowly.
I searched for Sault Ste Marie on RUclips JUST to confirm that my memory was correct from when I was in hotel customer service in South Dakota, and it is. Our biggest city is Sioux Falls, and "Sioux" is pronounced EXACTLY the same way that you pronounce "Sault" (and Sioux Falls is nicknamed "Soo Foo" with exactly that spelling, so the "Soo" sweatshirt was kind of on-topic ;-) ).
Really? Bummer. Which park? Sorry about that. I have friends in the Soo. They are back there for the summer. Hope you are doing well. Thank you for watching and commenting.
@SundayFoggyNotions yup lol, had to pause and skip back to see if I heard it correctly. You can definitely tell from pronunciations who has actually visited a city they talk about in their videos.
I see this was uploaded a couple years ago. Sadly the Sault has fallen into decline in a very short time. The city was, and could be again, a great place. Sadly due to a significant drug addiction problem which the city council will not address, and the resultant increase in crime that usually accompanies it, there may be better options than moving to or investing in the Sault.
I think Itaians mostly, many masons built city buildings & locks in the river. Finns also worked in the bush with french too as well as carpentry. More diversity today. The steelplant is the major employer.
Are the citizens of the Sault happy with the coming transition to electric arc furnaces at the steel mill and away from the coal coke powered blast furnaces? Sault could be powered by new and cheap wind farms.
@@cruisinginmy94 A lot has changed in 10 years since Ontario has its feed in tariff policy. Now the costs of wind and solar PV are below every other source. New wind on the prairies is being sold to utilities at 3.5 cents per kilowatt hour. This is why renewables are booming on the prairies and around the world.
@@chrystynec1496 So would you prefer new wind farms east and west of the soo? Or would you prefer sourcing a different form of electricity to power your city?
Aargh,. It's not "Soo" or "Salt" "Saynt" Marie anymore than nuclear is pronounced "Noo-kyoo-ler." It's a French name, the 't' is silent, and it's "Saul." How freaking hard is it and why does everyone in that region insist on saying it wrong? "Saul Sante Marie." EASY!
LMFAO please tell me another fairytale. When in the Zoo you will quickly realize why they built two bypasses one to get to the border and one to totally avoid the city. W5 did a great documentary on the city. Vice even picked it up. Lock your car and turn your alarm on and be careful of where in town you are walking especially after dark. You missed one of the best attractions the zombie apocalypse of strung out people. Don't forget about the friendly people.
Don't fall in the trap as I did. This city was the worst city I've ever lived in What you see in pictures and videos is totally different than real life.
@ Just Another Day 😆 I was born there. Lived there for years. Left again for Alberta in January 2013. Last time I visited was March 2016. Trust me it's been called what it's called for years and years now and it's only gotten worse and worse. Go check it out for yourself! You'll see!
@@cruisinginmy94 Verifying your statement as my friend called it "Sewer Suck Misery" due to the steel plant going under and then being sold over and over to be finally pieced out to several different companies and countries. The heart of the matter is simple....the days of having a job for a company like steel mill and retiring with a pension, this was ground zero for that evaporation to what it is currently today. You don't have to play the lyrics "Downbound Train" by Springsteen to see it. "I had a job, I had a girl, I had something going mister in this world. I got laid off down lumberyard, (steel mill) our love when bad, times got hard." LOL!!

Great northern road?
