Again I am just marking time to bring this blog up to a more recent date.
I have rather enjoyed 'not' looking stuff up since last August ,when I shut down the old VC site.
However in time I still may seek out a new venue,and start posting Montreal stuff again.For now there are other good Montreal sites like Coolopolis,or Vanishing Montreal ,I know I check out a few periodically,.......my thinking is the old ABF train of thought ( Anything But FB) --lol
THANKS for stopping by, I do my best to acknowledge when someone leaves a comment,you do not have to be a member here & everyone is welcome. Ps: This site is monitored but not actively posting on a regular basis. Mostly these are stories & some photos saved from a defunct site known as Verdun Connections which was on MSN Groups initially then on a social network called Multiply.

Boxing Day 2012 and so on
Well I hope you had a great Christmas,good food,family,friends etc.
I will try to start working on this blog a little more often in the next few months.However after closing down the Verdun Connections site on Multiply network,I really have appreciated the free time,not searching for montreal or Verdun stuff to post & share.It really frees up time.It gets difficult after a while (or dead boring) posting all the traditional stuff,like Hey Remember these (fill in ) hotdogs ,pizza,boardwalk,natatorium etc etc ...really we covered all that stuff & posted plenty of photos which I do like ,I still see plenty of the stuff we posted years ago being emailed to me from other social networks as if they just stumbled across it...lol
perhaps a little later on I may have a renewed inspiration to start a new (old) group,but only if I can find a decent venue( I am not a FB fan at all,so that's out;they seem to invasive) that would provide us features like photo/video storage,running blogs which update or bumped to the top whenever a new reply is posted to a that topic/thread.
In the meantime I have saved as much of the old posts,and pics we shared here on this blog.
I do not actively seek a membership type of blog,but I do see the stats on passers-by,so it is nice that people do still want to read some of the old stuff.
Ok that's it for now,I really just wanted to update the blog,so I remember it is still here...lol
Cheers ~ and Have Fun & Remember Verdun
Also have a good New Year and all the best in 2013:

Minor Update
Nothing to see here folks,move along.......hahahah I have been too busy to post anything new,but I want to stay somewhat current ,so when I am ready to promote this site or a new venue ,it should be an easier transfer or continuation. Somewhee down the road I will have a new group possibly,something that affords interaction such as FB but with much more user friendly features and options. I will try not to make it just a re-hash of the typical stuff. Time will tell..................

Belmont Park Sights & Sounds
Sights & sounds from Belmont Park,.the only thing missing is the smell of popcorn & cotton candy & all the food cooking (of yea,and trying not to step in gum or puke near the rides--------hahahaha)
..as kids we would walk to Belmont Park (following the known bus route #17 cartierville) we would walk so we could save the çarfare to spend at the park...........yikes ! From Verdun that is a fair jaunt,but just an adventure to us kids,who probably weren't supposed to actually leave Verdun by ourselves.....lol
............Cheers ! HF&RV -------------LesF
