Verdun's 120-year-old oven

That's Wellington Street baker, James P. Lloyd, and his wife, Maria, at their 120-year-old oven. (That would be 185 years today, if adjusted for chronological inflation.) The brick oven was believed to be as old as the building, at 854 Wellington St., and in still quite good shape. (Wonder who demolished it.) English by birth, James had been hired on at a bakery, where the young apprentice was promoted to assistant -- and guardian of the meat-pie secret. After the owner died, he was running his own shop at the same site by 1896. Their meat pies were so good, it was said, that the bakery could sell about 700 a day.

When talented people still moved here

The apparently famous Maltese swimmer with the surprising name of John Williams was hired by the local swim club, says this article of 9 July 1881. "The club stops at nothing to provide members with the most desirable facilities," it says.

Lauentians disco review 1968

In the Laurentians it's go-go time with...
The 'Bug,' the 'Mothball' and the 'Index'

By Jean-Claude Trait, La Patrie, Week of August 11, 1968, Page 6

On top of all the summer and winter attractions that the Laurentians have to offer, another kind has arrived: discotheques.
They've sprung up like mushrooms and, just ike these vegetables, have all kinds of weird names... .
City discotheques have nothing on these establishments. They have the same ambience and the same type of music fills the air, the guys and girls have just as much fun. But there's one difference: no ties are required and summer casuals are permitted.
We visited, in a single night, several of these dance caverns. Four of them had funny names: La Bebbite (the bug) in Piemont, La Boule-a-Mites (the mothball) in St. Agathe, la Pilule (the pill) in St. Adele and L'Index in St. Sauveur.
It was Mario Poudrette and Denis Rioux of St. Jerome who renovated La Bebitte, formerly Perdriole. It can accommodate about 125 people every day of the week. Open for a year and a half, La Bebitte is practically never empty. A go go dancer does her little number to enhance the atmosphere.
La Pilule is located in the basement of the Chatel-Boise Hotel in St. Adele. It's the largest discotheque in the Laurentians. There too, La Pillule is swarming! Clients at the bar look straight at two signs: Prescription (prescriptions) and Officine (dispensary). It might not seem to appealing at first glance, but the labels on the bottles will change your mind... .
In St. Agathe, Andre Lamont is in charge of an equally nice discoteheque: La Boule a Mites. The establishment has only been open for a few days, but it's already a success. And it looks like that will be nothing compared with the weeks to follow planned renovations. "The building used to be called La Vielle Maison Blanche (the old white house)," said Lamont. "The whole thing will be renamed La Maison Hantee (the haunted house), but I'll keep the name of Boule a Mites for the discotheque. On the first floor, they are working on fixing up a bar, Le Grenier (the barn), which will appeal to clients who don't like to dance. For others, events have already been established for La Boule a Mites. For example, Fridays will be horror night; staff will be dressed like Frankenstein, Dracula, ghosts, etc. Clients will be given scary masks when the walk in."
In St. Sauveur, the La Canadienne motel is home to a stylish discotheque called L'Index -- no doubt for the finger you'll point with when talking about a place that is intimate, comfortable and charming. That's probably why most of the clients are a little bit older than the other dischtheques.

Nuns say don't burn bugs

It was a hundred years ago today that a klutzy worker accidentally set fire to Hotel Dieu Hospital. This newspaper report was a summertime scoop for one of the local papers. But the newspaper version flew in the face of authorities' explanation that the fire was started by somebody's stray cigarette butt. One of the workers involved in a masonry job at the hospital, located at Pine and St. Urbain, told the daily La Patrie that another one of the workers started the fire. The story was a slam-dunk after a group of resident hospital nuns corroborated the labourer's version.
Story goes that the fire started in the roof area of the building's southeast corner. One of the workers up there was annoyed by a wasp's nest decided to burn it off with a burning roll of paper. You know the rest: roof in flames. Then somebody runs out and pulls the lever on Alarm Box 632 and firemen from five stations come galloping to the rescue.

Where the legends began

Dupuis Freres 1926 St. Christopher and St. Catherine, where skinny salesgirls ordered your granny to speak black.
Holts started out at St. Cat and McGill College
Pauze's seafood joint (now at St. Cat between St. Matthew and Guy) started 100 years or so ago on Francis Xavier just above St. James.
Desjardins seafood restaurant on Mackay (closed and sadly abandoned in recent years) started off at Guy and Dorchester.
Steinberg's started on St. Lawrence between just north of Marianne. By 1932 they had eight stores, including on Bernard in Outremont, on Monkland and on Sherbrooke and Victoria.

Quiz - where in Mtl was this?

Quizovers! - It is indeed Youville Square, a historic place relegated to urban parking lot status on McGill Street just north of Wellington. The squarewas once the Canadian parliament. It was burnt down by anglos un'appy at the lenient treatment afforded the 1837 rebels. The riot caused the removal of the capital of Canada from Montreal. I didn't spot where this was immediately, so I punched the store in the background into Lovells to get my answer.

Quiz - whodat?

This should be easy enough. This insanely photogenic old guy from Esplanade near F-Field has had tons of books and articles written about him. I know because he showed me a room full of them at his big old house with the leaky roof. He has no shame in admitting he hasn't read a word of any of 'em. He's one of the most accomodating, considerate and helpful people you'll ever meet, plus he's really keen on helping and encouraging schoolchildren. He plays a central role in The Great Poem. He gets a 9 out of 10... & would get top marks if he didn't have that tragic flaw so common to Quebecois of his generation.

The great chloroform theft of Rachel Street 1905

Where? Rachel and Laval. When? In mid July 1905. What? Someone climbed up on the lower ledge with a bottle in hand that helped him walk off with a majestic sum of $45.

What was in that bottle you ask. Well first let me tell you my favourite urban legend, told earnestly by the smokin hottie now-g-woman Kim Bao Nguyen
at her family restaurant on Crescent, now a part of Hurley's restaurant. A guy was waking up every morning with a sore backside. He couldn't figure out what was wrong with him but his butt was aching all the time. So one day he decided to do an investigation around his apartment and went to his gay roommate's dresser and found... a bottle of chloroform! (joke explaiers: He quickly realized that his roommate was knocking him out during his sleep and giving him several juicy blasts from the past).

So back to the story. On a hot summer night when everybody was sleeping, a bandit - perhaps more than one - climbed onto the ledge and snuck into the open windows of the home. Someone heard matches lighting in order to get candels lit. But that was the last thing they heard. The bandits nullified all resistance by chloroforming granny, little boy and Aline Labranche, (pictured to the left) before taking off with valuables. Unsure if the crime was ever solved. If anybody is up in that area please confirm that the house is still standing!

Claude Phaneuf of Repentigny -where is he now?

In '65 Claude Phaneuf was a moneyed young cat living a good solid life up in Repentigny. His job was handling the money for Mount Royal Paving of 3701 Jarry in St. Michel. One day President Leonard Franceschini woke up and asked his assistants Froon and Annand: "where's Claude?" They both replied: "I dunno...no idea... really." Montrealers have been asking that question ever since. He took off with at least one million and possibly $6 million and was never seen or heard from again. Phaneuf was allegedly spotted with him family Denmark, Bermuda and several countries in South America which don't have extradition treaties with the old CAN.

Phone booths - how they got here

According to this article September 1904 was the year phone booths really came to Mtl. The bars of Montreal were livid against Bell Canada for replacing their free phones with ones that only worked after you put in a nickel, aka a phone booth, which had no real name at the time.

Montreal's big hotels, including the Windsor, were the first to go with Bell Telephone's new pay-per-call system. But bar owners vowed to go with a competing phone company, called des Marchands, which obviously lost against Bell because nobody ever heard about 'em.

Bell's CEO Dewar answered questions from a reporter about the protest but not before making the reporter wait outside his office, which seems to have surprised the newspaper. When told of the incipient protest, Bell's boss seemed unscared. He argued that Bell shouldn't have to provide free operator's phone labour for free calls from bars and that Europe already had pay phones all over the place.

All this to say that this is evidence that the phone booth apparently came to Montreal in a big way in 1904. I reported recently in the Gazette that the city's first phone booth came to town five years earlier at Bleury and St. Catherine, which is from on a document I have somewhere here in a pile in a big box.

Calling all detectives - griz quiz...

Armand Dupuis, 20, is on the left.

Gerald Tougas, 22, is on the right.

Their best-friendship ended March 1972 when one of them committed murder most foul on the other. Judging from the photos, which one is the baddie and which one went to the part of heaven that hosts Montreal's east enders?Time has expired. The answer was that the guy on the right killed the guy on the left inside a restaurant. Note the homicide cop with the cigarette glued to lower lip. Ahhh, good times, good times.

Montreal hiz-quiz of the day - what's happenin' here?

Answer: Since youze all seem ravenously anxious for a reply - the answer is that the street was widened before the pole authorities could dance these suckers off the road. As you surely know, electrical poles in Mtl are governed by an entirely separate bureaucratic body which the city has no control over. The city loves to grumble about this. But it's been that way for about 1 century now. The photo doesn't indicate where this was taken but other sources suggest it might be Notre Dame East, possibly at Dezery around 1961.

Queen of the phones!

We have spent all this time neglecting Lily Camp. Camp started her telephone operating career at Edison Telephone in Montreal, but moved on to Bell Canada in 1880 when Bell started hiring operators. She said it wasn't too busy back then. The company had 150-200 customers. She knew the numbers by heart and there was no phone book. This photo was shot at the Telephone Pioneers meeting where she was feted September 19, 1950 for being one of the true firsties. In the beginning, Lachine, The Back River and Longue Pointe were all long distance calls from the M-Real City. Later on the long distance lines went to the Eastern Townships and then Ottawa, she was the first to connect a Montreal-to-Ottawa long distance call. We believe there's nothing to the rumour on the street was that she had a voracious appetite for bizarre sexual antics, but being a Bell Canada operator you never know.

Quiz of the day - what is this man doing?

Answer: the poor guy is smoking a ciggy because that's just about all he can do. He lost the use of his limbs in a motorcycle accident. After Easy Rider came to our local screens motorcycle usage went up 50%. The 1971 stats witnessed an alarming 30 percent rise in injuries, although fatalaties remained about the same.

The famous Rolling Stones in NDG shot...the search nears its end

A few years ago I'd heard about a photo taken July 1, 1966 of the Rolling Stones on St. James Street West in NDG. They were loitering around as their van was being repaired and someone took a photosnap of the boys with some fans. I had abandoned the quest to find this mythical photo until today when I bumped into my old best friend from when I was 15. He thanked me for introducing him to the Rolling Stones to whom he has erected a shrine of album covers on his wall, his favorite artwork Only Rock'n'Roll in the middle. When I asked him if he'd ever heard of the famous photo - bang, there it was a small 4x5 framed on his closet door. His friend had given him his copy. It's a great shot. Brian, Mick, Keith and a bunch of local kids all looking good from fairly close up. I'm not much of a Rolling Stones fan these days but this shot is worth getting Chimples to haul the old scanner over for. Watch this space.

Montreal's attack of the killer tomatoes

70 years ago Montreal had such an massive tomato harvest that the trucks couldn't stand the weight and carts broke down.

Will solar power breakthrough screw us up further?

A technological breakthrough by MIT scientists announced last week could turn solar electricity into a cheap and viable form of powering up all our electricity needs on the cheap without even the need for a power grid.

Researchers supposedly found a new approach to storing the electricity when the sun is not shining, thus overcoming the last great obstacle to cheap solar power. This is course, means that sunny places will have ample electricity to fuel their air conditioning, cars, TVs and every other thing that they could possibly need. There will then presumably be a lot less demand for oil and hydro electric electricity which are two things that Canada exports. Sunny places will become all the more desirable because not only are they sunny but they'll be great places to plug in.

Disclaimer necessary about here: it seems that every so often people announce these major breakthroughs in solar power and then we never hear about it again. Anybody who lives in Montreal, aka Vaporville - perhaps the world's capital in announced projects that never get off the ground (highways, superhospitals, etc) - is by nature skeptical and rightly so.

But assuming that solar power eventually gets cheap. What does this mean for Montreal? Well, we're not exactly a very sunny place.

Sunny places tend not to have much water. Water could turn into our final ace card and it's certain that the rest of the world will come aggressively trying to get what we have, although, of course, these sunny places could use their solar power to desalinate the nearby seawater.

In other words, cheap and massive energy available to sunny places could make some undesirable hot places a lot more desirable and make places like this look awfully miserable in comparison. Solar power could lead to emigration from Quebec unseen since Bill 101 was passed and screwed up the economy of Quebec.

But a radical breakthrough in solar power could result into a war or two worlds, the sunny, dry places versus those with abundant freshwater. Montreal will be in the second category.

With all the news from Montreal North, the shooting on Cavendish did not get much attention.

According to La Presse, the shooting on Cavendish in NDG yesterday at 6:30 am was thought to be a professional hit on Tony Magi, who is hanging on in hospital.

Magi developed the condos on Upper Lachine Road, amongst other projects.

Those low-cost condos brought heat on real estate agent/NDG borough Mayor Michael Applebaum for being shoddily designed with outdoor electricity poles a wall that juts right next to the sidewalk. I went with a friend to meet with Magi once before the thing was built, hoping he'd be open to making some small changes to the plan but he refused to come out of his office.

Repeal Landry's contemptible act of cultural revisionism

If you have trouble with Videotron or Bell or any other organization that can't figure out your address, you might blame Bernard Landry. Days after taking power as separatist premier of Quebec in 2001, his PQ government, citing Bill 101, passed a law changing dozens of long cherished and honored street names in Montreal. The Boulevard became Le Boulevard, Upper Lachine Road became Chemin Upper Lachine. The changes have largely been ignored but the unnecessary and offensive cultural revisionism has been an inconvenience to residents of such places as Oxford Avenue who have trouble with customer service agents who can't find the name on their lists because some have it listed as Avenue d'Oxford, which of course is neither the traditional name nor a very pleasant one to hear. So it's time for Premier Charest to step up and repeal this offensive and confusing PQ law. Here is a list of street names that were changed, with the real name in bold and the PQ name next to it.
