Owner razes disused lot in Rosemont
The unnamed owner of a disused lot of land in Rosemont Petite-Patrie, at Bellechasse and Casgrain, razed it this week despite gardens and other improvements brought to the place by nearby residents. Although the borough had been considering buying it out, the land was still the property of the unnamed landlord.

C’est pas dans Rosemont mais bien dans la Petite Patrie.

As you say. I was using “Rosemont” as shorthand for the borough, but of course that’s inaccurate. Thanks.

C’est comme dire Parc Extension lorsqu’on se réfère à Saint-Michel ou à Villeray. Dire Rosemont comme shorthand pour décrire la Petite Patrie relève de l’hérésie. Les origines du nom “Rosemont” sont bien à l’est de Papineau. Le segment à l’ouest du parc Père Marquette (une ancienne carrière) s’appelait jadis Fleurimont.

OK OK, c’est corrigé dans le texte, trop tard pour le rattraper dans le titre (qui est invisible sur le blogue, mais qui apparaît dans le feed pour Twitter).

I have a friend who lives around the corner from that little park and have hung out there a few times. It was nice but I’m sure nobody could have thought that it would be there forever.

No. It’s like Parc Oxygène in the McGill ghetto – after a piece of land is empty for awhile there’s a collective urge to see it become something other than a dump or a dirtpile, but then people get invested in it.
