1960's in Fort McMurray

Fort McMurray Airport.

The Haxton Store on the far Left?

Down the alley from our house in the valley? (the house we lived in across from BP's) I used to deliver the papers in that area. Or it could be the trailer court accross from the old theater??? Or is it Waterways?Does anybody know?

The grey build ing was the Fort McMurray Hotel. On the Left is what we knew as the Oil Can.

Hills Drugstore. He built his knew building beside the hotel (where Kings Fitness is now). The old hill drug building was removed and made into a parking lot and then to the right a building with Total Energy office (and I think a lawyers office) and then the A&W is on the corner.

Really neat pictures, Brent. Too bad we don't have Walter Hill here to tell us all the stories about each building.
You gotta love the truck.
Thanks for sharing.

Ya, I think your right Garth. Too bad I didn't get a picture of the Hudsons Bay House (Store?)I think it was across the street from the old theater.
