Wonderful video to watch. I was 7 years old, growing up in Point St. Charles, (15 minutes away). I remember riding the bus with my mother and going "uptown" shopping with her. Always got some of those great suckers at Laura Secord's on the corner of Peel and St. Catherine before catching the 58 bus home across the street. Simpson's was her favorite store and I still remember the delivery man coming to our house back then, his name was Charlie. Expo 67 had just happened the year before and I remember walking to the entrance on bridge Street just beside the old Autostade. I remember seeing all of the people walking over there some coming as far away as Verdun and LaSalle. Never saw so many pedestrians on Wellington st. in my life. See how the folks on the streets are going about their business calmly and so nicely dressed, not like today. Same with the vehicles on the roads, no road rage and the pavement is well kept. Great time to grow up. Too bad that in two years time the FLQ crisis will be on our hands and Pierre Laporte will be murdered. Sorry for the long winded story.

C’est moi ou il y avait davantage de beauté et d’esthétisme dans notre ville à l’époque ? Les enseignes, les bâtiments,les voitures, les constructions… Tout, si l’on regarde bien, avait un soucis esthétique. On ne faisait pas les choses seulement pour leur aspect pratique, mais les concepteurs mettaient une partie d’eux-mêmes dans ce qu’ils faisaient. La preuve : qui a déjà vécu dans ces duplex datant des années 20-30 se rappelleront ces murs de plâtre épais avec ces scultpures que les artisans faisaient - comparativement à ces murs de placo-plâtre fade et mince comme un 0,25$ dans lesquels on pourrait presque s’y enfoncer une main si tant est qu’on s’appuie un peu trop fort dessus !!
