Rue Provost
Provost Street, in the working-class borough of Lachine, is not one of Montreal’s much-vaunted main streets. It has no sidewalk cafés, no cool bars and no reason to linger. But it does have a vintage Poulet Frit à la Kentucky.
I took these photos in the spring of 2007. I hope Provost and its fried-chicken joint haven’t undergone any sort of rebranding since then.

Don’t worry, Chris. Time has stood still here for ages, and still does.

hey guys, the dream is dead. That KFC was replaced by a big ugly garage this spring.

What a disaster. Now I have even less incentive to go to the back end of Lachine.

dudelino is mistaken. The KFC at the corner of 11th ave & Provost is alive & well. The new garage is at 10th & Provost, former site of an Esso station.
