I've been surrounded by Saints my entire life
I was born 53 years ago in
St. Mary's Hospital
I was christened in
St. Ambroise Church
the first school I attended was
St. Kevin's Elementary
and my first communion and confirmation were done at
St. Kevin's Church.
When I met John - he sang in
St. George's Choir
Most of my shopping is done on
St. Catherine street.
except for
St. Patrick's day - when it's closed for the parade
In the summer we love to spend the day browsing around in
St. Sauveur
and often spend lazy days having lunch and walking around
St. Anne De Bellevue watching the boats line up for lunches
I spend a lot of time on
St. Denis Street in the summer going to the Just For Laughs Festival
and the Montreal Jazz Fest - starting on
St Catherine St and working it's way up to
St. Denis
( millions of tourist attend these shows every summer - are you one of them? )
I love getting smoked meat ( pastrami ) on
St Laurence
We often go to Old Montreal ( a 17th century neighbourhood off the water ) in the winter and summer -
just to stroll around
St. Sulpice - and
St Andre streets
But my favorite street in Old Montreal would have to be
St. Paul
St Helene's Island is a beautiful place to have a picnic ( just off the
St Lawrence River ) that round sphere is the former USA pavillion from Expo 67
and sometimes we find ourselves stopping by
St. Hubert Chicken for a snack
I buy my fruit - flowers - and even my Christmas trees from the Atwater Market
which is in St. Henri
and though the burrough I live in is called Westmount - it's original name was
St.Antoine
IF I wanted to Ski - I could go to Mont St Anne
and going for a walk in the city - from almost any point - you can catch a glimpse of
St. Joseph's Oratory
I'm still waiting for one of these to magically appear over my head
