A long-time resident remembers "The Glebe as it was"

By Mary Ahearn Dorothea McKenna has lived in the Glebe all of her life, and like many other Glebites, she has vivid childhood mem- ories of the area. Dorothea was born on Pre- toria Avenue, and moved around the Glebe. She lived in a row house with lawn swings at Fifth Avenue, where the Tot Lot is now located. She also lived on Second Avenue, and that spot is now the Roxborough Arms at the Canal. She now lives on Strathcona, one whole block from her birthplace. She re- members visiting her uncle at Percy and Third, and the huge gardens everyone had. Patterson's Creek The Southern and Eastern boundaries of the Glebe-are the Canal, and Dorothea has fond memories of summer picnics spent at Patterson Creek. There was a most incredible structure there--a gazebo-type affair with benches all around. We called it the Summer House and it used to be marvellous to run across those foot bridges when we went there with our fa- ther on Sundays.
