Really excellent short local-history documentary on the Niagara, St Catharines and Toronto streetcar system. Over the past decade, the St Catharines Museum has been doing fabulous community-outreach work (and doing so on a shoestring budget).

#JamesBarryDiary 6/11/1875 Pretty cold this morning, but the day was sunny and nice enough for the time of the year. I was busy grinding and drying all day - I am still very bad with the cold. A lot of stuff came in today. Annabella still here. Plenty of water now for grist or shingle mill. Amen.

#JamesBarryDiary 2/11/1875 An ugly day indeed; some snow falling in the forenoon and raining most of the afternoon. I finished Rogers shingles, the sign of them, and edged the most of them. I spent half the day fixing the damned gate that got wrong. Rory Innes working at the door for house.

#JamesBarryDiary 1/11/1875 Froze something hard last night, but this was a beautiful day – sunny most of the time. I was grinding and poking about many things in the afternoon - making a place for my 2 little pigs in the cowhouse. John McKay's boy to ask the people to the frolic for Thursday.

#JamesBarryDiary 30/10/1875 Somewhat of a fine day, sun shining sometimes. All the snow away again. Cunningham was half a day, but it goes free for the frolic day – I having paid him for it. Robert Elliott and the animal was in town today and spent a lot of money and bought lot of things of course.

#JamesBarryDiary 29/11/1875 A nasty day indeed; snowing some the most of the day, but after all it only fell about half an inch that appears. No grinding today - some grain came in though. The [ water ] was rather scarce for the shingle mill to go steady. I am still bad with the cold yet.
