Got my first pair of Levis at there!
Remember when 45s used to come as prizes in chip bags?
On Taschereau in St. Hubert?? And the mall used to be an indoor mall and Steinbergs and Miracle Mart were attached? With the PikNik stand and the ice cream stand in the mall? Omg, I'm being flooded with memories. There was a Perette on Grande Allee and Regent (now a Couche Tard I think). Did you grow up in LaFleche, abouret?
Nope, but I'm definitely going to find a copy now!
I still collect those milk bottles . And the comic section in the Montreal Star was amazing!! Georgia, you don't at all look anywhere old enough to have been around those days?
Lol, yes, I do!
Omg, the crazy memories. Patty, I don't know if I should be p!ssed at you or be thanking you for starting all this nostalgia .~RRLF $0.75 Organic Meadow, $1 Almond Fresh~

Oh yes! I'm a proud LaFleche produce!
Grew up on Roosevelt (the street of Jenni Pizza = Best pizza ever!!! ) where playing outside mean playing with 20 kids, taking the street as a play ground for a game of kick-ball, my parents sitting on the porch to watch us. Crossing Taschereau was such a big deal at that time! I was so proud of mysellf when I did it alone with my friends around 12 years old. And yes, in the Steinberg Mail there was a Pik Nik with the orange seat. Across the mail, there was a Pascal renovation store and near Pascal but outside the mail, the famous Cinema Greenfield Park where I saw ET for the first time!
I remember that going at the Mail Champlain was a big deal. I also remember when the LaBaie wing was made in the Mail Champlain, at the time where there was 3 Pik Nik in the Mail, at the time where we thought that the Discus music store was the most amazing store.
If going to the Mail Champlain was such a big deal, imagine going to Promenades St-Bruno!!! Where there was a Steinberg, a Miracle Mart (after it was M), a Eaton and a Simpson's all together before the Sears wing even existed!
Are you from LaFlèche too?Hi! I'm a shopaholic... hum no, scratch that, I'm a dealaholic!!!

Wow, the things we remember... in Chomedey Laval, there was nothing but fields between Centre Laval & Carrefour Laval, the Perrette zipbags, Simpsons "A quoi tu pense ?", Steinberg was previously Dominion, Pascal, Parc Belmont (very vaguely), "Distribution aux Consommateurs.. c'est DAC !", and 6 pack glass bottles of 7up/Coca Cola... all depanneurs had bottle openers attached somewhere...
When the first ATMs came out as a teenager, the best place to have an account was the Royal Bank because you could withdraw money in 5$ increments.
Anyone who grew up in Chomedey might enjoy and recall a few stores on this 1973 video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOfQS...ure=plpp_video
And some other recollections...

I remember my mom buying use 3 kids a bag of caddies full to the rime for 1$ eacg. 10 rasberries for .01$, the black jaw brakers, the liquorice tools, chips for .25$ and coke bottles being glass.... I'm not that old 36 next week and those are thing I will always remember.
I remember also, my first Nike, watching cartoons such as Jane and the holograms, J.I. Joe with my brother, shopping our Christmas tree in the snow and not taking it out of a box. lololol

That was the first cinema I ever went to and the first movie I ever saw .
First time I went to les Promenades was when one of my teachers used to take me there for lunch when I was in high school.
I sure am . I grew up on Lorraine street...it runs parallel to Edgar (one street over). My cousins lived on Roosevelt. Do you remember the milk man that lived on Montgomery...they always gave milk and juice boxes for Halloween. There would always be a line-up from his door down the driveway, lol. We would also only buy our milk at his house rather than the store.
I wonder if we ever met back then .~RRLF $0.75 Organic Meadow, $1 Almond Fresh~

Woolco(ville Lasalle), MiracleMart(I worked at the Atwater one) you guys are really making me feel old! I remember when there was Steinbergs and Dominion in Verdun my old home town. Thursday and Friday nights a bunch of us boys would wait outside with our wooden wagons and ask the patrons when they were done shopping if we could deliver their groceries...For a couple of quarters. Remember Pascal's Hardware store? Was the first Credit Card Chargex? With the manual sliding handle across the small paper with the carbon. I don't think discount coupons existed back then. Wow

I remember shopping at Towers, Bargain Harolds and Biway. They used to have a seating bench and ashtray as soon as you went into Woolco, and throughout the mall. I cant imagine anyone smoking in a mall now.
