Point THIS IS THE POINT THAT WAS !!!!! First of all, the friendships that to this day still endure Irvs and Rainbows corner stores A way of life for sure Bonfires and processions that were the best in town West-end gangs and Verdun Bums who tried to bring us down Run Sheep Run and Kick the Can Skipping rope and fun Renting bikes and lining up for Hogans Bath in the sun Talent shows at CKVL Searching for new stars 79th Battery and Dom Polski Halls and all the corner bars Chocolate milk in Lorne School St. Gabriels Parish Hall Colombia House and Reverend Brown My God, we had it all Tassees and the good old Pav Y dances Tuesday night Northern Electric and CNR The occasional gang fight Grand Trunk Boat and Yacht Club The Boardwalk and Nuns farm The pool hall and CNR picnic The dump with all its charm The Gumper and Muirs meat pies Ice boxes and coal bins Kik and Jumbo soda pop and Saturday night Bath-ins Snow forts and fire hydrant showers The Vogue and Center too Skating at the Ryde Street rink and mignight mass til two The zoot-suiters and their finery The bookie and his bets The Boys and Girls Club opening Bob Geareys Alouettes The Point St. Charles football team Played all their games with zest They were rough and tough and handsome No doubt, they were the best I guess what was important as we all grew up down there Was the sense of being equal When ALL our cupboards were bare But pity those unfortunates Who never knew the pride of the kind of family feeling We all still have inside No matter where you travel Wherever you may go Youll always meet someone from the Point Wholl smile and say Hello God bless all those who cant be here They had to say goodbye Our love and thoughts are with them. NOT like this today. .
