Est-ce vrai que le parc Ahuntsic était appelé par la population locale "le parc des Russes" parce que une communauté gitane ("gipsy") habitant près de la voie ferrée y tenait une festivité annuelle avec leur musique traditionnelle au début du XXe siècle. Pour faire entrer les enfants le soir, on leur disait "fait attention, les "gipsys"vont te prendre", plus efficace que le "bonhomme sept heure".
5156-5160 avenue Casgrain
I grew up on Casgrain St and lived at 5158A. I was 5 yrs old in 1949 when this aerial photo was taken. All the homes on that street had sheds in the back to store coal in the winter. Coal was used until the stoves were converted to oil probably some time in the late 30s. In back of the house is a laneway - we called it "Lucky Lane". A park with a baseball diamond was in back of Casgrain St and is still there. There was a skating rink put up in the winter and a nice chalet to warm up from the cold. There was a swing set, slide and monkey bars at the South end of the park. Kids were always playing outside until dark. Nice street to grow up. Still live in Montreal and have been back to visit the neighbourhood several times.
