Petite-Patrie resto firebombed
The Ligne Rouge restaurant near Jean-Talon metro was firebombed Tuesday evening. TVA describes the location as Little Italy, but I don’t think Little Italy stretches east of St-Denis, does it?

I’m no expert, but the Casa d’Italia is very near there, and slightly more east. Is the Casa d’Italia not in Little Italy?

Damn. I used to love eating there when I lived in the area.

Matthew H, that is a counter-argument. I hadn’t thought of that – thank you!
Emily, I went in there once, ordered a shish taouk sandwich and watched as a guy sliced chicken off the rotating thing and then fried it in grease on the grill thingy. Never again.

I only ever had their fries.

I would say an extension of the Little Italy, as there is a little strip of italian businesses on Jean-Talon between Christophe Colomb up to Petit Maghreb

It doesn’t seem to have an official designation. This SDC claims that Casa d’Italia sneaks in there despite Google maps drawing a hard line at St-Denis. https://www.petiteitalie.com/a-propos/?lang=en

Interesting. Mr.Chinaski is also right about all those businesses along Jean-Talon.
I don’t think Ligne Rouge is one of them, though!

It depends on whether you consider it a geographic or cultural community. My grandmother and grandfather were both born and raised on Berri street just north of Jean-Talon, both of Italian immigrant families. They met and fell in love on that street which was really just full of Italian and Portuguese immigrants. After they got married and had kids they moved around a few times around Villeray before they settled on St Leonard.
My mom’s side of the family, also Italian, lived in the Plateau. My mom got kidnapped as a child and my grandparents fled the dangers of the Plateau and settled in the bucolic far-flung suburbs of Nouveau Bordeau aka Cartierville/Ahuntsic.

Your mother got kidnapped? Was she found, was she OK – can we hear the story?
