Maitland Street and Gottingen Street

Gottingen Street: Gottingen Street and nearby Maitland Street in Halifax were hopping Saturday with people taking in the sights, sounds and food smells of the urban neighbourhood, according to The Chronicle Herald. Maitland Street was closed for the day because it was the site of a performance venue, a few display tables, food sales and other things. Pedestrian traffic along parts of Gottingen Street appeared heavy and They are long gone, but the areas 18th-century homesteaders would probably think it was all wunderbar. Folks of all ages flocked to the busy district to enjoy planned events that were part of a late-summer fete celebrating Gottingens big anniversary. The festival marked 250 years since the street was named by German settlers. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
