2008 Monmouth Cup Challenge is Behind Us.

900 Block Rallies Late.
800 Takes the Cup.
A good game was played by all. Nice to see some new neighbours out too. The 800 block dominated the game with long completions and good running. Team 900 lost serious ground with a few fumbles and interceptions. They rallied in the last quarter but didn't quite make it. After the game everyone met up at The Kildare House for some good cheer and an exceptional food offering by the house. Another great event for residents of Monmouth Road and friends. Nicely done. Chimo everyone!

Here's what it looked like:

Fire Takes Another Brownstone. Beer Store Saved


Fire takes out Flag Store. Spares Beer Store


Walkerville loses another brownstone to fire. Firemen from Fire House 2 (right across the street) really had to rush into their wellies this morning. Around 4:30 A.M. a fully engaged fire broke out in the building currently housing The Flag Store Walker and Richmond). Fire quickly engulfed the entire building from front to back. Three or Four separate businesses including the Flag Shop and a tool and die shop were decimated. This building used to be the home of YKK zippers and fasteners. Ladder trucks from number two and from other stations were called to the scene to bombard the flames with thousands of gallons of water. Fire units were positioned along all sides of the building, especially on the south side where they were protecting MacDonald and White from encroaching flames. Firefighters were still on the scene at 10:00 A.M. this morning. The single story building burned completely to the ground leaving no corner untouched. Street speculation is pointing to arson. Power to the adjacent neighbourhood along St. Luke is out. Thick, acrid smoke has blanketed the North Drouillard Road area. Fire fighters were just starting to wrap up around noon on Saturday.
