Town of Yarmouth
"So much ? ? ? ? "
The Town of Yarmouth is the regional center of South Western Nova Scotia. After a long public consultation process, the Town along with the SWSDA,YDC,and it's various Boards and Committees, has decided to re-brand the Town. Now gone is the tired redundant designation ''Historic Seaport.''....Yarmouth will now be know as.................. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
.
It has taken over fifty years to eliminate almost all of the tired, worn out old Victorian buildings in Yarmouth. The Town has managed to succeed in almost completely demolishing the old waterfront.....there appears to be only two or three of these eye-sore buildings still standing.
And Yarmouth's Main Street...well there are still a few stubborn Victorian hold-outs.....but I am certain they will be dealt with....they sure don't fit with our cement bank buildings ...do they... .........
The many rotting old sea captain's houses,and old Victorian buildings have been generally left to the slum landlords to deal with, who have for years practiced, demolition by neglect, and have become experts aided by short-sighted, inept, Town Councils... .
The
Town of Yarmouth and SWSDA in their Five Year Plan have succeeded in completely clearing the Cliff Street area of all Victorian buildings and trees and have confirmed that a new zone has been created allowing the slum landlords to truck prefabricated houses and large mobile homes into the area creating a vibrant utilitarian effect. A new ''Floating Business Zone'' will enable the drug dealers to have their houses rezoned...commercial....whoa...hold on there...did he really say that ? ? ? ?
The final blows delivered to the Old Yarmouth Courthouse. The eye-sore has been the center of controversy for sometime, one eccentric local taxpayer felt it was important to the community to retain at least one building of heritage and cultural value in the town. Yarmouth's self-important knew better, and as a result tourists have been flocking to Yarmouth,bus and walking tours along Starrs Road have become increasingly more popular. One tourist was qouted as saying''I love the bare starkness of treeless streets, we don't have this back home.''
The "Secret Deliberations" prior to the sale of the Yarmouth Old County Jail circa 1862, to three guys from Knoxville , Tennessee ???''
To keep ahead of our modernization program,to make way for ''eight-teen wheelers'' The Town managed to completely eliminate this eye-sore above.....The Forest Street area originally known for its canopy of century old trees...which of course would make a nasty mess of the streets in the Fall of the year........Today the old Victorian streetscape has been bulldozed and most of the old houses are well on their way to the landfill,this has been implemented, in accordance with the Town's long-range plans, and will ensure that Yarmouth will continue to maintain its reputation as one of the most isolated, desolate and short-sighted towns in South Western Nova Scotia. And as you can see below, this really has helped to eliminate that Old Historic Seaport stigma..........................
They've Done a Heck of a Job
