Does anyone of updates on the Bailey's? Share them if you do. I watched this doc. a few times. It was very well done and again caught up with the Bailey's 18 years later. On a trip to Montreal a number of years ago I took some time to visit what I thought was the original apartment on St. James Street. Turns out today it's totally gone as explained in the follow up doc. Today, well at least when I was there it is a green space of sorts, almost like a neighbourhood vegetable garden. The rail yard is gone entirely, and dwellings have been built. I found the follow up doc. to be quite amusing, more so then the 1967 doc, somewhat dark and a little unsettling. Wondering how the family turned out, is the daughter that was in hospital still alive? Things like that. Any updates would be great.
