Decarie Boulevard as seen in 1961, before it became a sunken expressway.

Suzanna said...: What a cool shot of the way Decarie Blvd. used to be. I vaguely remember driving down that road with Grandpa. It was Grandpa who told me that all the stuff that was dug up to build the sunken Decarie Expressway was used to build St. Helen's Island, for Expo. I was a little girl, and didn't believe him!; 11:59 PM

I definitely recognize the Snowdon building on the right and the building in the bottom right corner being near the intersection of Queen Mary and Décarie. (Right?)

This is so weird, but so cool... maybe my aunt and parents remember this.; 2:50 AM
