So you want to live in Mile End. We've heard that one before. Now here's the train station you'll never be able to visit (unless you're about a hundred). But on the bright side, if this pile hadn't been cleared away, you wouldn't have been able to buy exciting flooring products at Million Carpets and Tiles. Why it's the old Canadian Pacific Railway's
Mile End Station. And
HERE's about where it was. In case you're wondering, that's the Frontenac Brewing Company behind. It was torn down in '73, almost 50 years after the company buckled in a price war against rival breweries Molson and Dawes.

Come to think of it, perhaps that's where Peter MacAuslan took the name for his Frontenac Pale Ale, which just happens to be the house pale ale at McKibbin's Irish Pub (better than the Moosehead, which always seems flat). To make a short story long, here's a picture of a purportedly collectible tray from the old
Frontenac Brewery.
Sorry your location says it was at the same place as 1 million tiles but it was 1000 feet to the east.Facing st Dominique street
