Apparently Moving Day in Montreal is coming up,..(is it the 1st of July?)
Remember it was always May 1st,......................now it's in the summer ,.easier on the kids ,.and the weather is usually better:
but Is it July 1st??? This would seem odd,as it must be very busy in the streets that weekemd with everyone off for the Canada Day Holiday,
Remember moving those nice old fridges with the round corners,making it a lot easier to carry them (up to a 3rd floor) noone ever moved to a bottom floor.........hahahahahah

Les, Making July Ist moving day was a crown jweel of the Parti Quebecois. It's true that moving during the school term often forces children to change schools just before exam time. They could have made it August or September first but they wanted to screw up Canada Day celebrations for the English. Ed
.yes moving day IS july1st....and this year 2 of my sons are moving the same day......eeeeks!

funny, driving to atwater tunnel for the downtown action, i saw lots of u hauls trucks,vans, around. forgot about the moving days? here's a pic for you were martins was at one time les, 2doors, condo?
see the bus stop, in front ex martins beer store, back then winter time i saw lots of students, during a snow storm, grab the rear bumper of the 112 bus for that sled ride? sometimes 20 guys running to grab that bumper, crazy stuff,
Yes that's my buddy's old building,...I had a few beers upstairs there,and quite a few while we were downstairs in his Depanneur,...nothing likw a Nice Walk in Cooler ,.with those large wooden framed Glass doors,.....always a case open ,.to 'sample' during the day ,& then of course not a bad deal when we headed upstairs,...take a 24 Free,.you gotta like that.......hahahahah I think my buddy Randy sold the whole building about 5 years ago??? The new owners knew ,they weren't going to keep either the Video Beaurling store or the little Dep in the back,....(both those stores were part of the old Martin's Grocery at onetime when we were going to school around there,......................Lot's of old memories from around there,that's for sure,.Thanks Walter I appreciate the time you took to take the photo,.i will show the picture to my brother too ! Randy & my brotherm went to school together ,.................I'll tell Randy his old building is on the VC site,.. ...........................................Have Fun & Remember Verdun ........................
