1938-2008

Ouverte en 1856, l'avenue McGill college était autrefois une rue à vocation résidentielle.  Sur la photo ci-haut, on peut déjà constater que les résidences avaient dès lors été transformées en commerce dans les années 1930. Ces immeubles disparaîtrons ensuite graduellement entre les années 1960 et 1980 afin de permettre l'élargissement de la rue.

It would be cool to see some inside photos of Les Terrasses. That was one funky 70ish mall, as I recall.

I doubt anybody wasted much film on Les Terrasses.

Well, if was different, give it that. There wasn't a right angle in the place, as I recall.

...nice to see Montreal drivers were the same even back then. And aaah, Les Terrasses. Oh, the glory of the 70s, with red, blue, and yellow bubble rubber floors...
