I just dropped my kids off at Lachine High 45 minutes ago.(now Lakeside Academy, and merged with Bishop Whelan High). Today is the first day of school for them after summer vacation. My uncle graduated from Bishop Whelan in 1968.

Unfortunately, the restaurant at 45th and St-Joseph (to the left of where my car was when I took this picture) burned down sometime in the late 90's and there are now condos lining that block of St-Joseph between 45th and 46th avenues.

The restaurant burnt down for the last time in '98, a week or two before the ice storm hit us hard. My mom and I watched the firemen putting the last of the fire out. It was something to see.

I was living in the Arctic when the restaurant burned down, but I will always remember it. It's the spot where I stood and watched my present-day wife head off to her classes in a taxi, the morning after our first night together. We had our eyes locked through the back window of the cab until it rounded the curve by 48th Avenue. All in all, we still consider it one our more romantic memories.
