Renfrew St, Dalhousie, NB, CA. Past and Present

I just love this Google Maps with the street view. I was on maps the other night checking on a village in Ct., when I wondered if Dalhousie had the street view feature. And low and behold it did ! I posted before on my old post card and was pleased  to see the same view in color. WHAT WAS REALLY STRANGE WAS THE FIRST SCENE  WAS AT THE BASE OF THE STREET FACING AN OLD CEMETERY!! I have to wonder if my Great Grandparents spirits did that. I really would love to visit there but its quite a drive even from Maine. Maybe someday!
People have attached photos to the locality which is a really nice feature.

Here are the the photos to compare.

Wow - way cool to find the same view as on your old postcard. I'll have to see if I can do the same! Thanks for your post.

I love your Dalhousie postcard. If you're generally interested in that area you may want to see the Dalhousie lumber mill postcard on my site. My Theriaults came from Caraquet but they sometimes lived in Dalhousie during the Depression years when they were looking for work.

Karen and Evelyn, Thanks for stopping by.
Evelyn, send me an e-mail if you could I'd like to ask you a question about a burnt church in Dalhousie.

Les, maybe you can find a volunteer through RAOGK.com to look through that cemetery for you!
