Does anyone remember those sidewalk sales on Wellington every year? We used to go all the time. As kids we loved being able to walk on the streets and we usually found some great deals. Does any know if they still have them? Or is that tradition over?

I remember those sidewalk sales, they were great! I'm in Calgary now so I honestly don't know if they still have them. Back to School shopping sale is what I called it! Wow, talk about bringing back memories................ June McKiernon
Hi June, Of course, the sidewalk sales are still alive (Now more than ever !) I went there last year and buy a CD-ROM on Verdun at Librairie Sons et Lettres in front of NDSD Church on Wellington. Best regards, JMH
Best deals ever!!!!Even when I moved to Ontario, I used to go to Verdun for the sales! What they call sidewalk sales here in Calgary do not even compare.

Sidewalk sales in Verdun now are not the same anymore
with the closing of so many stores . I remember people pulling and
grabbing stuff right out of your hand . they did that alot at
Maxis everybody went there. Its before all these Dollarstore
came out. Now it seem they sell the same stuff over and
over again years ago had bags and bags of bargains to
brag about .
Regarding sidewalk sales, I was in Verdun last summer, seems like I remember Wellington been closed of to traffic for a few days on a weekend, they were having a gigantic street sale. I saw the same happenings in Ville Emard on a different week-end. the streets were bustling with people. Bob G ~ I loved Verdun and still love the memories that it brings to me. DP from Verdun
