Norgate Shopping Centre

- CE - Thursday, August 24th, 2006 : goo

[previous] :: [next]

Canada's first strip mall built in 1949. My eyes always tear up a bit with pride when looking at this beautiful first in mass consumerism.

That Pharmaprix in the first picture was just refurbished at the beginning of this summer. I bought a bunch of Buckley's cough syrup there when my whole family came down with a bad cough and sore throats in June.

Ah, Buckley's, the cough syrup of the gods. There isn't a cough that stuff can't fix!

I'm working on a quick pdf document to promote two spaces for rent in the Norgate Shopping Centre, I would like to know if I can have some pictures of yours in high resolution? Let me know if this is possible. Thanks

Great effort! I haven't been back to St. Laurent for ages, but this article and excellent photography are like an instant time machine. Please continue to add more photographs and articles. The Decarie Hot Dog article is great! D.H.D. was our favorite hangout in St. Laurent, and we spent many an hour discussing all kinds of things with the owner, 'Tony The Best', who always put a positive spin on every topic. Thanks so much!

Hello!

I'm working in this shopping center. I work for a chiropractor who's situated on top of Tim Horton. The first chiropractor ''Dr Pierre Paquin, chiropractor'' opened his practice in 1950 and Dr Carl Frégeau, chiropractor took over in 1992. So the office exist now for almost 58 years. We have some pictures that show the vacant area before the shopping center was built. I think the only ones who are in the original location are the Royal Bank and us.

My husband and I are going to Montreal in June 2008 for our 50th wedding anniversary. We had one of our first dates at a smoked meat place in Norgate shopping Centre. I guess it's not there any more. The sandwiches were great and just 35 cents. We'll probably drive by for a look anyway.
