Raise your hand if you remember when moving day in Montreal was on May 1st instead of July 1st? Check out this photo dated 1938, showing what passed for a moving van back then, on 4th Avenue between Wellington and Verdun Ave.
I went for a walk earlier this week to attempt to reproduce the view. It’s harder to see Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes in the background today because of a big tree, but that section of 4th Ave hasn’t changed much in 84 years and a few days, has it?
