I was wondering if anyone has any pictures of the former mall.. ? nostra-YOUPPI!  Umpire Location: Shahre:'on Kaybec Bonsoir et cest partie  |  Re: Centre Eaton, formerly Les Terrasses <Reply # 1 on 3/21/2007 5:49 PM >   got no pictures but it was a forced flow mall. you had to do all the levels to get anywhere. the original parking structure is still standing. Last year when they were replacing the tiles in the food court the old parking lines were visible. Les terrasses replaced a street named victoria that was at that location Montreal Expos 1969-2004 Forever Proud Lets Keep The Dream Alive maZe  Location: Montreal/Moncton/Ottawa Gender: Female "All the world's a stage and most of us are desperately unrehearsed" - Sean O'Casey  |  |  |  Re: Centre Eaton, formerly Les Terrasses <Reply # 2 on 3/22/2007 4:28 AM >   I remember the place and I remember seing pics.

I miss the 70s leisure suit feeling of place bonaventure. The old mall that led to the merchandise mart (present exhibit hall) is now another small exhibit hall and you enter by the lower level near where provi soir and id canada used to be.

Yeah, I've had a few beers in there. It was down in the basement where the food court is now. There used to be another happening bar just a block up University street, back in the late 70s. 2nd floor of one of the office towers on the west side of the street. Fucked if I can remember the name of that one though.

Hah! I'm so old my drinking days go even farther back than Edgewater. That place never did much for me though. My buddies were more of the Maples crowd. The Snowdon Tavern on Decarie was probably the first places I got into regularly. Me and my high school buddies quaffing drafts with the old men and their quarts of 50... those were the days. The waiters didn't mind us punks hanging out as long as we took an out-of-the-way table and tipped them well. Which was, like, A DIME back then! Then there was Big Syl's, up the winding staircase across Guy from the Timmy Ho's. Sylvia was a big black mamma from somewhere in the Caribbean. Candles, table cloths, low lighting and a jukebox... It was a big step up from the Snowdon. There used to be another bar around the corner. Across de Maisonneuve from the Hall building, in the vacant lot the peachy Concordia building now occupies. In one of those Dickie Moore rent-a-trailers. I think it might have been affiliated with the university, but my memory's muddy. You remember any of these places, Charlie?

You remember any of these places, Charlie? the maples, wasnt that the place that burned down, supposedly was a great show bar. I remember when the edgewater moved to sources and became the edge, later the cactus then got blown up by a bomb only to become bourbon street.

That it was, and burn down it did. You can read a short history of The Mapes' earlier days here. There doesn't seem to be much info about the place on the web [apart from the whining of baby boomers pining for the past, that is ] It was located on the triangular block bounded by Lakeview, Hillside and Lakeshore, now occupied by a rather dense townhouse development. Dense for the West Island, anyway. See map. The little park on the other side of Lakeshore Road used to be the parking lot. Back in the 70s I didn't give a damn about these things, but given the bar's location (in the middle of a very quiet residential neighbourhood) the neighbours must have REALLY hated the place. It was a zoo on the weekends. I wouldn't be surprised at all if it was one of them that put the torch to it. Check out Marc Denis' page for some short write ups and a few pictures of the old clubs in Montreal and Pointe-Claire.

Charlie_Dunver  Location: Montreal Gender: Male  |  |  Re: Centre Eaton, formerly Les Terrasses <Reply # 18 on 3/23/2007 9:17 PM >   The Carb's real name was Les Carabinniers or something like that. It was the first tavern I was ever in and a glass of draft cost 15 cents I think a bottle of beer was like 35-40 cents then, Quarts around 65 or so - dirt cheap. There was a waiter there who used to rush through the place carrying two trays of steins with one hand - the waiters were very agile and extremely sharp, sort of like the "Peanut Man" who was so well known at sports events, they never forgot to collect no matter how many beers they dropped off and tables they had been at. I think the place Wang referred to may have been called Tiffany's. I never cared for the West Island bars as they were so far out from the city and the Mapes was very much a biker type bar which I didn't mind out west but seemed very much like a redneck thing to us urban sophisticates from Verdun who adored downtown Montreal . I can remember in the early 70's when Crescent street on a summer night was dominated by heroin addicts, all kinds of stoner types, bikers (I have actually seen nothing but motorcycles parked from Demaissoneuve to Ste Catherine on the east side when The Vagabonds would come up from Toronto for a meet with Satan's Choice) and, yes, there were even signs of the polyester curse to come! Lots of stuff on this thread!!!
