Can remember when the 58 streetcar went towards Woodland..did the circle and had to get the bus to take you further..like Crawford Park,,Lasalle..or as it was called..Ville Lasalle.There was a soda shop on the corner of Wellington and Woodland that made the largest milkshakes. Same corner had my first view of a zoot suiter..
While attending VHS for a year..at lunch would walk down to the store that made milkshakes and had a May West for lunch.Then quit schhol and started to work at Rutherwood lumber millwork.Paid me 75 cents an hour.Even worked half a day on Saturdays..

Hi, The bus line was 53 Lasalle -Verdun (usually Mack bus, serial 800; sometimes Brill) You can see a map of Montreal’s tramways (1941): http://www.bnquebec.ca/cargeo/htm/TRBA0141.htm The tramway is passing right in front of Woodland Restaurant. The name of the soda shop: I.C.U. Restaurant ? (on the north--east corner, there was Woodland Restaurant; still there) Have a nice day, J.M. Hachey
