Point groups get building to work with
A coalition of community groups in Point St-Charles has been given a building to work with – an old train shop with no heat, electricity or running water.

For anyone curious (since they seem to not publish the location of the building), the building in question is corner Sainte-Madeleine and Rue LeBer http://goo.gl/maps/1U9cQ . I’ve heard too many people assume it was the depot corner Wellington & Bridge (which is a building far more visible a also sore on the eyes)

I had wondered what was up with the big building that had such a bad fire a few years back. But the one you’re pointing to can’t be that one.

Are you thinking about the paper recycling plant at 3820 St-Patrick Street http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/story/2011/06/08/fire-at-recycling-plant-in-montreal.html. That building (along with others around it) are being demolished to connect La Verendrye with St-Patrick in an attempt to get more circulation into that part of Cote-St-Paul. Details are in the Turcot interchange construction project.
