 Ok....Who remembers...??? COME ON PEOPLE!!

Hey Jim;
I think the color of the bus tickets back then (when I was a kid anyways),
was orangey/brown color and the adult tickets were bluish/green

 Ok....Who remembers...??? COME ON PEOPLE!!



Barry don't feel bad my father used to get me to scoop up the
horse manure off the street in front of our flat. He wanted fertilizer
for his tiny garden. Colossal embarrassment for this too cool 10 year
old.

Horses used to deliver everything in the forties: Ice, rag pick up,
milk, bread. My grandfather worked at the bakery stables on Reille
(sp?) Avenue, I think, between Bannantyne and Verdun.

Xmas vacation

I am hoping i could get some advice from the V.C. members who are
familiar with Verdun and Montreal. I am thinking about spending
Christmas there and I cannot afford to stay at the major hotels. Are
there hotels or motels that are inexpensive by the week on the island
you could recommend? Maybe a web site or a name is all I am asking
for.

I plan to do some research on my father's family history so I may be
there for at least 3 weeks over Christmas. This journey will take me
eventually to Ireland, but first I want to spend some time at my
upbringing. We lived at 457 2nd Avenue for 15 years.

I'm sure it will bring a flood of memories back to me, just to walk
down the lane between 2nd Avenue and 1st Avenue. My entire adulthood
was spent at sea in the US merchant marine, and to this day when I
dream of ships, they always dock right outside my door on Second
Avenue.

It has been 44 years since my family left Verdun to live in
California. In 1970 I moved to Hawaii, and have been here ever since.

Anyway, if any member should be aware of a modest, non touristy B&B,
hotel, or a motel, I'd appreciate it very much.
