Night on Catherine: 1954

Night on Catherine: 1954

"Montreal July 1954. Night on Catherine and Peel Streets." From Set 3 of found 35mm Kodachrome slides. View full size. I don't know about you, but I'm heading right over to the Indian Room to meet Jack Delano for cocktails.

Sainte-Catherine and Peel

There is a webcam run by Tourism Montreal at that location:

Unfortunately it doesn't look as "swinging" as it once did.

And a 1953 Ford

The ghost of one anyhow, zooming by...

Sainte Catherine

Sainte Catherine is the main drag in Montreal, now a one-way street running through the heart of downtown Montreal from upper class boutiques on the west side to lower class red light districts in the east end. It was the scene of the famous "Rocket Richard" hockey riots of 1957, and more recently the Stanley Cup riot of 1993.

Public Works

Garbage bucket style "C", eh? Much better than those style "A" or "B" ones, I presume.
