Rebuilding Downtown Dartmouth
“The change came with people my age coming over to buy houses and start their families because they wanted to be central in the city, but they couldn’t afford to do it in Halifax. So they came over to Dartmouth and they’re starting their life here.” – Stacey Campbell, Dartmouth, NS

Mrs. Fisher’s Legacy
“She has been in the area for such a long time, and everybody just misses her so much. I still have people coming in be like, ‘Have you heard anything about Mrs. Fisher?'” – Stacey Campbell, Dartmouth, NS

Fisher’s Had Everything
“It was a store unlike any other stationery store. She had a very eclectic mix of products in there. You could get anything from baptism cards to ribbons for your typewriter.” – Tim Rissesco, Dartmouth, NS

A Surprise for Mrs. Fisher
“One Saturday morning we marched up here en masse, there must have been 40 of us or so in the procession. And then some people joined us at the store, there must have been a hundred people through the store.” – Tim Rissesco, Dartmouth, NS

Watching Downtown Dartmouth Come Alive Again
“Back in the ’70s and ’80s, it was a bustling street, and then it sort of died down and it lost its lustre. Now, in these couple past years it’s been growing.” – Christopher Hagen, Dartmouth, NS
