“Ole Guitar Pickers Corners”
The Meeting Place
There is probably no more important place to the fabric of a town than the place where people go to meet. It is here, over a coffee or gathered around an old wood stove that gossip is exchanged; where the news of the world is analyzed and advice provided for world leaders; where local historians wax eloquent. While Hockey Night in Canada may no longer be the drawing card that brings people together to watch the only television set in town; and while daily business and work schedules preclude the daily gathering around the stove – the ‘meeting place’ remains central to the community. It is where you go to be at home. But, a fact that architects and town planners fail to understand is that the attraction is not the building. It is the people. It is home. For decades “Ole Guitar Pickers Corners’ has been that place. It is Ahmic Harbour. - Place of Publication
