Griffin Town.

I do not know how I missed that heart warming article on the G.T.
home of my grandparents within which was successfully raised 7 sons
and daughters, one of which was my dad. Great stuff.
For some strange reason I cannot post on the oldest 'Remembering
Verdun' thread. Not a problem.
Second Avenue.

    I have just been corrected. It seems Goose Village was not a part of
    Griffin Town. My grandparents lived on Grand Trunk Street in the
    Point up until 1900, then moved to G.V. as the family grew. Great
    article though.
