Last September we drove from Ottawa to Montreal for a few days and were there for our anniversary...
So of course we had to visit the church where we were married... It now serves as a soup kitchen as well as a church.
The hall where we had our wedding reception burned down a few years ago...
But the chapel looked much the same...
We had our wedding pictures taken here, on the lawn beside the church.
Then, of course, we had to go back to see our first home - the middle apartment in this old triplex.
Oh no! They changed the stairs! The entry had a curving staircase when we lived here. It was the only one on the block. Now the staircase looks just like the others!
But the old convent across the street (now a university residence) looks much the same.
I guess some changes are inevitable, after all these years. But it was - and still is - a peaceful neighborhood right in the middle of downtown.
the hall was torn down..not burned down. it was unsafe as a structure.
