Remember the reception hall at the corner of Lasalle Blvd. & Lafleur Av. & Wellington Street in Verdun,.the War Cenotaph Monument that now stands in Willibrord Park on Verdun Av & Willibrord & 1st,.used to prudly stand in the little triangular shaped park where Wellingto meets Lasalle & Lafleur,....ahhh but back to the point ,'the reception hall' with it's Black & Pink Awning that covered the staircase up to the 2nd floor where many a wedding reception was held,
It was called Poissant Hall ..........I think that's the correct spelling, I used to think it was Poisson Hall .but that sounds a little fishy,with 1 too many 'S' Yikes I digress
.also across from this on Wellington Street ,used to be a restaurant called 'Labelle BBQ' ..........anyone have photos of that???

Glad you surfed by Geri, finding that old souvenir is pretty cool.

Always great to see old Verdun stuff, most of us are getting old and saving these old memories is fun for a lot of people to see.
