I knew it was a sex worker even before clicking the link. Those motels are notorious.
Lousy way to go, RIP.

According to media, she’s expected to survive.

Small mercies.

I just took a streetview stroll down St-Jacques and never realized how many of those creepy motels there were. Off topic but does anyone remember the name of the classic hot dog joint that used to be around there (memory from around 1995)? Mr. Hot Dog or something?

As I recall, Mr Hot Dog was on Sherbrooke near Loyola, although maybe there was another one on St‑Jacques? (There used to be one on St‑Hubert in Villeray too.)

Mr. Hot Dog was indeed on Sherbrooke, right where Monkland merges with it. It has been a Dagwood’s for a number of years now.

I think that’s it, I definitely remember it being on a triangle corner like that, thanks to you both. Kids used to walk from Royal West Academy to different places on lunch or after school – sometimes, VSP, sometimes St-Jacques, sometimes Sherbrooke – I guess I got them all mixed up in this old brain.

In fact, Monsieur Hot Dog still exists on St‑Hubert, corner du Rosaire. But this one has a bar section and signs out for VLTs, which I don’t think the NDG one ever did.

There was a burger/hot dog joint around there for a while, where the Centre Mobile Plus is now (aside: how those places stay in business I don’t know). Can’t remember the name now, but they had spruce beer that you had to pay a bottle deposit on.

I still miss Maison du Egg Roll in St Henri.

@Ian: Alive and well in Verdun! He must own the building, one of the last of the old school restos on the strip. https://maps.app.goo.gl/7EifyHTg9Li91ZcE7

OMG! The one in St Hank was a big buffet place, this one looks smaller – but I will definitely swing by to check it out. Thank you so much!

It’s a real dive but the food’s not bad and the owner is eccentric. If you’re lucky his 90+ y/o Mom will be hanging out at the table covered in newspapers.

I do enjoy divey old Canadian Chinese food restaurants, they remind me of when I was a kid and most small towns only had a diner and a chop suey place. It wasn’t until the late 70s that pizza joints started popping up.
