Please have a look at it here, and feel free to comment on that site.
By the way, I don't know what hyperlocal means and I certainly don't want to encourage its use, so don't start peppering your conversation with that word and blaming me for it.
And as a further treat, here are some photos by Conrad Poirier shot of Oxford Park, the top two in 1938 and the last one, the doggie show, in 1940.
Thanks to HaroldRo for finding these among thousands of pics in the Poirier archive.
And if anybody seeks to know why the CDN-NDG administration has been so ineffective in dealing with serious issues, (and I include recent issues such as their inability to keep charity groups from placing awful metal industrial boxes around the area), then have a look at this video of the most recent borough council meeting. Borough mayor Lionel Perez and fellow party member Marvin Rotrand bicker unpleasantly with councillor Peter McQueen, all of them looking like children in a schoolyard fight insulting each others' backpacks. Shameful and pathetic all round.
