Queen's Hotel documentary

The Queen's Hotel - an old hotel that no longer stands in Owen Sound is the subject of a well-researched video documentary. Adminst controversy, the building was demolished.

Update: Queen's Hotel Blues (New) is no longer available on the Owen Sound Sun-Times blog.

I was never in the building but I found the information provided by people (many whom I know) to be very interesting. Thank you to all who contributed to the making of the video. It is well done. It shows both sides of the story.

The Owen Sound & North Grey Union Public Library has information on the hotel in the local history vertical file for anyone interested in reading about the hotel.

You Tube - great variety

I spent several hours exploring the videos on You Tube. I was surprised at the variety - quality, topics and length. The challenge is the band width. The best time without pauses was the beginning of the soccer game gold cup this year between Guatemala and Canada. I saw all the introduction but quit before the game began as it started to have too many pauses. It was to be an hour video. Most I chose to look at were under 3 minutes. I did a variety of search terms to see what is there. -- books, genealogy, libraries, church and Canada. I wondered who submitted some of them as I would have thought there would have been copyright on them.

The one I have chosen to share is one my brother sent me the link to a few weeks ago. I seem to be able to watch all the way through without pauses. It shows what can happen when you follow your dream.
