@peececat Re: "Last Names". There were the Kelly's (Who cared) , Doucette's, Notaro's (Crazies)lol, Whittaker's, Mumboquettes, Boyd's. So many I can't remem..Oh! Yeah! The Arseholes (Arsenolds?). Hm! Dave Valentie. Isn't he in prison for murder or something?
Kathy MacDonald. I remember. Real funny. We were camping with the Fords on Mont Tremblant. and just as Kathy fell we felt a small earth tremor. Hilarious! :)
here are a few last names of people who grew up there in the 60's 70's Gribbon's irish bacground , Edghill's multi nationality's, valenties ,irish,james Gribbon, Stella Edghill
McDonald's,Scottish if u know any of these last names send me a msg tks
at the end of the video there is a sphere of metal rods and has a ring around it like a steel version of Saturn. Is that some sort of playground or sculpture?
For those of us who grew up in this series of buildings in the '70s, we called it the "Satellite" There was always a Satellite & a slide around every corner of the back of these buildings.
Not the most fancy area I grew up in...but probably where most of my fond memories lie...
There are projects in the works to tear renovate and rebuild these old buildings and make them into affordable housing for low income families. There is a condominium complex being built on the empty lot, as well as, there are talks of building a brand new sports facility that would service the western borough. This is NDG... one of the best neighbourhoods in MTL bar none!
Benny Farm was a subsidized housing complex for WWI and WWII veterans after the war. It takes approx 2 city blocks right in the heart of NDG, and is considered prime real estate.
Most recently, due to old age, all of the veterans that once lived there have passed away leaving all these buildings empty.
