Yes I remember Shorts Take Out...Joan Short was the owner of that restaurant....I actually met Joan one day at Walmart not to long ago and we chatted, my where have all the years gone? But it is nice to bump into old friends every now and then. Joan is a very nice lady....always was.

Garvin's and O"Neill's Funeral Homes

I was in Saint John last week and took the opportunity to check out the location of these two firms in the Saint John City Directories found at the public library there.

Here are the results:
O'Neills Funeral Service at 669 Main Street so they would have been close to Arnoff's etc. I attended my grandfather's funeral from there in 1951 and we lived not far away at 556 Main Street so I was quite sure of that one.

In 1947 Garvin's was located at 47 Claredon Street ... near Saint Peter's Church and in 1950 the Directory showed their location as 257 Main Street which would have been close to the Main Street Baptist Church.

Also I remember a Robichaud's Grocery Store on Simonds Street...possibly the corner of Simond and High from when we lived on Simonds Street. Malone's grocery was on the other side of Simonds Street.

May I add that the Saint John City Directories found upstairs in the Genealogy section of the Saint John City library are useful in finding the addresses of companies as well as individuals living in Saint John and copies of the Directories from 1800 up to around 2000 are kept there.

Does anyone who lived on Murray Street remember a girl named Jannine Cormier? It would be around 1950 to 1957 or so.

St. Peter's

This is a great site. Many of us, I imagine, feel nostalgic about Saint John, though many of us are happy where we wound up. Some of these names of people and places I haven’t thought about for 40 years. I was born in Roberts Court in ’56, then Beaverbrook Avenue. I went to St. Pete’s grades 5 thru 9.
Now, I have two items that I am hoping someone can help me with:
1. Does anyone know or remember Mary Patterson? She attended St. Peter’s; her grade 9 would have been 1969-70 I think? I want to send her an email, if anyone can help facilitate that, please let me know. I think she lived over near Rockland Road.
2. Dufferin School put on “Alice in Wonderland” in ’67, maybe ’68, not sure – does anyone remember that? Does anyone have any pics of that? Our St. Pete’s choir had a part in the play.

My mistake, she would have been Kay Holmes back then, and had three brothers. Alfred, Donnie and Peter.

Kent Movie theatre

Does any one remember that? We are from Kingston and our treat would be to go there and watch the movies.
My husband used to get a 50 cents allowance and that would get you in, a tub of popcorn and a cup of pop. One week was horror movie, the next week, maybe Abbott and Costello
It was always full of families..
