I spent many Saturday afternoons going to the Princess Theater on Gore Street to watch the weekly double feature or serials. My mother used to go there for the Monday night movie and the weekly "S-T-A-G-O" bingo-type night. Many transitions over the years, but a lot of memories.

The marquee captioned movie was released in 1938

Fort Wasguhaegun was constructed at the Sault Locks near the swing bridge in the 1960s. It was a replica of a trading post in the area from years gone by.

One of the Sault's first fast food drive-ins was located on Second Line West close to where the No Frills is now located.

Back in the 60s, kids around North America flocked around their TV to watch the "Batman" series with Adam West and Burt Ward, which ran from 1966 to 1968. At the annual Car Show at the Memorial Gardens in 1967, one of the exhibits was the actual Batmobile (or one of them) used in the TV series. They had a draw that evening, and some lucky kid in the Sault was going to have the Batmobile pick them up from home and bring them to school that day. I
