Comments received before the guest book option was added
After reflecting for a few days, here are some more institutions of
St.Lambert in the 50's: contributed by [email protected]
1. Seminuk Electrical Repair Store
This was just behind Parker's Dry Cleaning. Mr. Seminuk had a mountain
of old toasters, radios, etc. behind his counter. Perhaps not the most
organized individual, but of good heart and intention. Supplanted by
Jardines in the early 1950's.
2. Parker's Dry Cleaning
3. The cement trough for horses to drink from (on one side) and people
(on the other side).
Like the fountain in the center of the L'Esperance Park Wading Pool, the
horse / people fountain was sponsored by the Lion's Club. It was located
on the St. Barnabas Anglican Church side of the park formed by the
intersection of Victoria and (?) Horsfal opposite the Victoria Theatre /
Taylor's Store. I recall it well, as I used to lean my bicycle against
it while drinking from the fountain (people's side, that is!)
4. Dr. Brown, on Mercille Avenue, almost next to the St. Lambert
Elementary School.
5. The first St. Lambert Library, built around 1953
6. Smiley's Coal, delivered in horse-drawn carts. (They used to shovel
the coal down a chute into a room in our basement, from which my dad
shovelled it into the furnace.) This became Smiley's Fuel Oil, delivered
in tanker trucks. ( Note from Doug Macfie -- ah!!! Joan Smiley now that is to remeber)
7. Gargbage collected by horse drawn city wagons, pulled through the
lanes behind all the houses in the first section of St. Lambert.
8. Chambly Transport (aka 'Shambles' Transport) and their dogpatch
buses, which replaced my beloved Southern Counties Railway streetcars -
still a few in Delson?
9. Romeo's Barber Shop, on Victoria Street - 25 cents for a haircut, and
ten cents for a tip
10. The outer suburbs - Mackayville, Lafleche, Ville Lemoyne, Greenfield
Park - where are they all now?
11. Brown's Pharmacy, on the corner of Horsfal and Victoria, opposite
Parker's Dry Cleaning. Mr. Brown Senior and his son (who never became a
pharmacist) ran the store. Both had bad tempers)
This sight was a treat to find! As I read down the list of places and things from the St.Lambert of my childhood (the horse trough on Victoria - classic),
I couldn't help but smile. I came to St.Lambert as a boy of about 4 or 5 from Malton (dad worked on the Avro Arrow until it went Kaput)and lived first on Desalunier (near Johnny's corner)
then up on Mercille.I remember the Lion's head fountain and paddling pool at the youth center on Lesperance and the lane-ways we walked to get there on those hot summer days.
Then a 5 cent popsicle on the way home from Lawsons ,
I could go on and on. Dr.Brown (on Notre-Dame) and his nurse Therese (with her big dog Blackie? beside her in the office)was my doctor.
[email protected]
Cathy Harper of Huntington writes.... " I too well remember Brown's Pharmacy on the corner of Victoria
and Webster,opposite Parker's Cleaners. J.G. Brown and his son Jim
never advertised as each prescription was dispensed along with a joke
or funny story. They knew that the best advertisement was a satisfied
customer and my grandfather and uncle had more doctor and prescription
business than any other pharmacy in town. "
What a trip down memory lane!
I always thought I was "the only one" who remembered such seemingly unimportant highlights of my growing up years but, obviously, I am not alone in treasuring
these golden nuggets!
Friday evenings at the Youth Centre dances (L'esperance) with the disco ball glittering from the ceiling and Aker Bilk playing "Strangers on the Shore" as
the last dance.
Summer days at the "Youth camp" across from Holy Angels school where we got chocolate milk in a bottle with the cardboard top.
We lived across the street from the park on St. Denis so all I had to do was cross the road to watch my brother play baseball or play on the monkey bars
(forget today's plastic stuff - this was the real thing: metal) or swim in the small concrete pool. There was a wooden chalet where, during the summer, they
played music from the juke box (Wake Up Little Suzie) and during the winter we laced up our skates while the pot-bellied stove warmed us and then we went
outside to the rink and skated around to recorded music.
My Dad was a writer and avid photographer and snapped pics of The St. Lawrence Seaway's opening amongst many other "happenings". If you need any old photos of
St. Lambert, please contact me. They're amazing!
I remember going to see "Psycho" at the cinema on Victoria Street and being so scared we were afraid to walk home so we went into the little Chinese restaurant
across the street - we spent an hour eating 2 almond cookies - enough time to get our nerves up to run home.
My Mom would drag us to the A&P every Saturday morning to do our shopping my big treat was to pour the coffee beans into the grinder and push the button - I can
still smell the aroma!
'Round about 1970 or '71 St. Lambert had a weekend craft fair - started out in the morning with pancakes and sausages and went all day with various artists
showing their wares. Don't know if this was just a one-off or if it went on for a few years.
Anyway, so sorry to bore you with all of this nostalgia but I was so taken by your site and the memories it conjured I just had to let you know how
appreciative I am. I moved to St. Lambert when I was 9 months old and left when I was 23 so you can
imagine how dear to my heart this wonderful place is!
Please contact me should you want to see some great photos!
