  yeah, the border really means dick up here... Did you know that the border towns on the Canadian side have mutual aid agreements with the border towns on the New York side? They both were mightily pissed over this new border bullshit...

  It's pretty laid back. I remember the last time I visited Vermont, they didn't even bother asking me anything more than "where are you going today?" I wish it was that easy everywhere..

  i know a house burned down in mooers because the border guys wouldnt let the hemmingford fire trucks in last year
From what a friend of mine who works in border services the american side questions are random from a database and the computer can decide to ask you 1 or 20. its not the guy in the booth being a dick anymore.

I always cross at rouses point, nice bunch in that one

  i always cross at the road that turns left just past Parker Chevrolet... i don't remember the number.. 276 to Quebec 221. I go up the road, hang a left, go by some Golf 2000 place and there is Autoroute 15. I never have to wait at that border crossing and usually I am just going to Napierville anyway.

  yeah i think thats where i cross, its the first crossing east of the 87, actually the second but the first (in champlain) is abandonned.

i cross into the states and hang a U turn to grab that road that straddles the border and takes you into rouses point.

  Amazing. I 've spent a lot of time as a kid in there. Funny, but playing pee wee hockey in there meant you were part of some kind of elite thing as most Verdun kids, as I did, played on outdoor rinks. There was probably 20-25 hockey rinks and at least 15 just for skating rinks in Verdun every winter back then. I used to watch Verdun Maple Leaf games there , lol. Hell, we were one series away from the Memorial Cup in the late 60's but lost to Niagara Falls who had Phil Myre in nets. Our guy who would go on to play in the NHL was Guy Charron. Junior hockey games were always packed. Today I don't even know if there is a junior team in Montreal, we used to have a whole league which was like a farm system for the Quebec Junior league which the JR. Canadiens played in. They used to get 8-10,000 for games at the Forum in the 60's.

They built an annex to this in the early 80's now called the Denis Savard Arena.

I saw Stomping Tom Connors there. Try to beat that! lmao

  Je pense qu'il y aura une équipe l'an prochain qui s'appellera "Le Junior de Montréal" et jouera à Verdun justement.

  Blawkowski, ouais, c'est le retour du Rocket de PEI, qui était avant une équipe de Laval en fait, qui était déménagé à Charlottetown et ça a plus ou moins fonctionné....Ils ont changé le nom mais on r'acheté la franchise en fait.

  Av's tool turned up a couple dozen lost comments on your account, Charlie. Hopefully one of them is the one that makes this location blue?

  Ahhh, I mean, ooops! I just commented on a bunch of Nostra comments from 2007 because I thought something else all together was going on, lol.

Oh, and thanks, EW and AV!!!
Nevermind!

  Ah Damn! T'as raison Nostra. Les Fog Devils de St. John's... ouais! L'équipe devant remplacer le départ du club-école des Leafs mais ça a pas trop trop pogné je pense...
