Who says nothing interesting happens in Ville Emard?

It takes some skill to learn to appreciate Monk Street, with its amazingly bad restaurants, Bar RV and the pathetically-named bar The University of Ville Emard.

But appreciate it we do. Here's a blast up the passt from 1954. Cops found Peter Hubert, 32, father of 5 and resident of 6652 Monk driving around with a small girl who was not his daughter. He had lured her into his car pretending he needed her help looking for a kid. The little girl was crying. Hubert ran into his house and leapt off the balcony, either to kill himself or to escape police. He survived.
