Maurice "The Rocket" Richard and his younger brother Henri "The Pocket Rocket" Richard played together on the Canadiens and lived not far apart.
But the Rocket never once bothered visiting his younger brother's house, Henri said in interview from 1974.
Henri owned a tavern, drove a Lincoln Continental and carried a big wad of cash when I'd see him at my dad's parking lot in the late 70s.
Yet he wasn't much of a personality and had a wistful air about him.
So why did Mo snub little Henri? Maybe he Mo didn't like Henri? Or Henri's wife? Or his wife's cooking?
Duct tape is the only tape you hear about these days.
But electrical tape is a thing too, I guess.
There's a valid case being made for replacing clothing with little bits of sticky tape.
And these young women are in the front lines of that initiative.
Because body painting is so last year, didn't you know?
Nightclub photographer Omar Le Homard shot these photos at a theme night at a Laval strip club about a month ago.
In Coolopolis' ongoing attempt to poison local geography, we present stories from these spots so you'll always be terrified and sickened when you pass by.TOP: Jean Milot and des Oblats in LaSalle where John Connearney, 36, shot cop Richard Larente dead and injured partner Richard Oss when they pulled his brown 1963 Ford over for suspicion of drunk driving on 14 June 1973. Connearney was a fugitive from Quincy Mass. living in Canada since 1962. He was sentenced to death. The sentence was commuted but he was killed by prison guards in a 1980 prison riot. (BTW, I'm researching a recently-deceased fugitive nicknamed Boston Mike who might have been part of the Bulger crew before fleeing to Montreal about 30 years ago - pls contact me if you know about this guy). MIDDLE: Laneway between Peel and Stanley south of Sherbrooke. Frank Holmes, Thomas Holmes, William Reich and William Quaile were convicted of raping two women, one a 38-year-old mother of four, in a car taken to this spot on April 23, 1947. Frank Holmes offered the women a lift home to Point St. Charles after meeting them in a bar. Instead he stopped at Bleury and Dorchester and the other three men jumped in and then brutally sexually assaulted the women in the car parked in this laneway before dumping them off at Knox and Charlevoix. They stole their cash and bus tickets as well. They were sentenced to 12 years and 10 strokes of the lash. BOTTOM: 1871 Belanger E. A man entered the Bar La Gaiete at 11:10 p.m. on Saturday March 13, 1977 and shot five people dead, including barmaid Monique Renault-Hebert, manager Michel Arsenault, 40 and patrons Jacques Fortin, 42, Jeannette Adams, 25 and Michel Chorel, 19. Three others were wounded as the killer sprayed the place with a M-1 semi-automatic.
