I must say I really enjoyed reading your article. I`ve only very recently discovered Mile- End. At first I was taken aback by this unwelcoming atmosphere,and then slowly but surely I started to appreciate it. It definitely is a very unique part of Montreal, it doesn`t have all the glamour of the downtown district,but instead its richness tends towards a cultural diversity and a great variety of exotic merchants.I`m looking forward to going there in the summer,because I`m sure its far more charming.

I’m not sure how 3312 B could be at Parc… unless they used to start numbering from the edge of the island (either west or east?) and then changed it to starting from the Main?

Do you have any other information? Pictures or businesses in prox?

Mile End is a wonderful place. Though it’s gettin’ kinda pricey…

Hello Mr. De Wolf!
I have just discovered that my grandfather emigrated to Mile End! I wonder if you could solve a mystery for me… His address was 3312 Bernard (at Park) in 1924. I wonder what that would translate to now?
Thanks to your photos and great description of the neighbourhood, I wonder why he moved to East Broughton! Many thanks!

Hi Ewald, are you referring to community newspapers or magazines/books/etc. that just happen to be published in Mile End?

Le Point d’Outremont covers both Outremont and Mile End news, although (as its name suggests) it leans more heavily towards the west side of Hutchison Street. There’s also another paper called L’Express d’Outremont, but it doesn’t have much Mile End content.

If I’m not mistaken, there’s a number of zines that are produced in Mile End. You can pick them up at some of the record shops, bookstores, cafes and clothing stores around the area.

I enjoyed reading this article very much. Just moved to Mile End from Winnipeg and am one of the those university students mentioned in your article. I am wondering, are there any local publications in the hood?

Ah, you make me so homesick. I used to live on Esplanade and still miss it. Nothing else has ever felt like “home”

Hi,
I have been in Mile End for a week, doing some research for an exhibition at articule gallery on Fairmount. The exhibition will take place in May 2009, and for this i am looking for local stories, things that have happened to people who have lived here. It could have been years ago or just yesterday. I love this neighbourhood, having been walking up and down it all week delivering flyers for the project. Looking forward to coming back in May. For more info go to http://www.articule.org, thanks, David

Maybe I missed it, but how does rent compare to the rest of the Montreal area?

I really enjoyed your article on Mile End, and great photography! I’m coming to Montreal this weekend for a conference, and will be trying to find my Grandmaman’s apartment on Park Avenue, where she lived in the 1920’s.
I just found her little address book, where it was noted. My grandmother just loved Montreal, and her life there in the 20’s sounded so romantic~
I was born in Montreal also, but grew up in St. Jean -sur-Richelieu, and now live in the Gatineau Hills, Quebec.

Note that the Hasid photo caption that reads “The western half of Outremont and eastern edge of Mile End…” should read “The eastern half of Outremont and western edge of Mile End…”.
