I was 13 when Expo 67 came to town. My 11-year-old brother and I would get a couple of bucks from our parents and we'd spend the day there. It was a magical time to be living in Montreal!

2 years later Montreal got an MLB team and named them after this

Montreal is fucking awesome!! Damn Canada kicks ass, even in the 60s we had better cities then the states!

the best is at 0:27 when he laughs and says: There digging a subway, remember?

Construction on the metro had started before montreal was awarded the world fair. And, ironically, they were having a problem initially finding a place to put all the excavations debris from the metro. Expo and the Montreal Metro solved each others problems that year. so inspirational.

[FrancophoneFan]

It's just amazing to think that they did this!

I grew up in Montreal right after Expo was built. A lot of my childhood memories were of visiting La Londe which went on for yeasrs after Expo 67

My father worked at Expo '67. He was a pedicab driver.

Im liveing in Ohio now, and was still in school when mayor Drapou pulled that magic off, I was wondering, remeber the Olympic Lottery, and there was some special cars made just for that event,

I live in Montreal. I meant Québec, the province, not the city!

[mtlguy112]

A ghetto city? It's not lol, I live in Montréal, and it's nice! Of course, we have problems that comes with the fact of being a big city of the 21st century, but we are doing good lol^^ It could be better lol, but we have our head above the water, as we say in Québec.
