New Plattsburgh airport may squeeze Montreal area hubs Last Updated: Friday, May 4, 2007 | 3:57 PM ET CBC News Montreal air authorities say they're keeping a close eye on competition emerging south of the border from a new international airport in Plattsburgh, N.Y. The airport, scheduled to open June 1 complete with bilingual signs and a French website, hopes to attract Canadian travellers from Montreal and Quebec heading to U.S. destinations. Montreal airport authority president James Cherry said there's no doubt the new Plattsburgh hub will be able to offer cheaper landing fees and lower taxes on plane tickets, discounts that will entice Canadian travellers to choose it as a port of departure. It's a phenomenon many Canadian airports near the U.S. border have to confront. "Toronto has the same issue with Buffalo, Vancouver has the same issue with Bellingham. It's not unique to our situation," Cherry told CBC. The Trudeau airport can't slash prices because it pays high taxes, as all Canadian airports do, he added. "About 35 per cent of our costs are in one form or another a transfer to a government, either in the form of property taxes to the city of Montreal, or rent that we pay on our airport to the federal government." Montreal authorities are more concerned about the new airport's effect on other hubs in the metropolitan region. "We see it as a potential threat to cargo traffic and to commercial development," Cherry said.

Hello Lorraine, Gus's Red Hots are still around, .this of course is a newer version of the original building,that most of us would remember,......I did post a picture of the old building a few years back, but I will have to search for it,when I come across it ,I will post here: Have Fun And Remember Verdun
Here's a site showing the menu for Gus' and a Then & Now changing photo of the old & new building,........... http://pocomoonshine.net/gus/index.html Remember When, HF&RV
Hey, I've been living just north of Plattsburgh for over 15 years and I can honestly say that nobody from around here would eat at Gus's. I guess they changed the menu quite a while ago and the place went downhill. Too bad. My mom's got pix of me and my sisters out front of it in'64.
Brady ( Graveyboat) dig out those pictures,those would be neat to see, .I would bet many of the places we all Remember being good,have changed somewhat,......I know I had a 'Michigan' at a Lafleurs (but one on Wellington near Lasalle Blvd end) and it was --- Not what I had Remembered them being---....but the steamies were good & the fries were good,.Unfortunately all things change I guess...... Hope your all doing well ..........I'll say hello to Teresa for you, HF&RV
