Al Palmer: Montreal's greatest ever newspaper writer lived here

7 comments:

  1. Al Palmer of the old Herald lived at 1206 Fort Street, Apt. 43, in 1955.

  2. And, as it was an even-numbered address, the building would have been located on the west-side of the street, approx. where the pic was taken from, and not on the grassy lawn behind the CCA to where the lens points.

  3. Oh jeez, are you sending us to the Lovell directories?

    My first reaction as the same at Wayne's. I lived at 1242 St Mark and learned to skate in the lot on the picture (which is on the odd-numbered side of the street.)

    Auf der Maur lived on Tupper between Fort and St Mark for a while; but that's irrelevant because no one would condsider him the greatest writer.

    I just watched the Levesque miniseries again (twice too often, you say?) and Levesque tells reporters that Auf der Maur supports him and sent money.
