A driver in Mile End.
Bagels at two in the morning, studios behind brick walls, and a street grid built long before anyone thought about turning radius.

Why Mile End matters.
Mile End was its own town first: the Village of Saint-Louis-du-Mile-End, incorporated in 1878 and annexed by Montréal in 1909. Its name comes from the old toll road a mile out of town. The Saint-Laurent and Saint-Urbain corridors became the first address for wave after wave of arriving families.
Through the first half of the twentieth century this was the heart of Jewish Montréal: synagogues on Saint-Urbain and Bagg, garment shops, the bakeries on Saint-Viateur and Fairmount that still line up at midnight, and the tenement streets Mordecai Richler wrote into permanence. Much of the community later moved west, but the buildings, the bakeries and the memory stayed.
Today the same blocks hold recording studios, game studios, galleries and coffee bars. It makes for an unusual driving day: a 5 a.m. airport run, a midday pickup outside a studio on Saint-Laurent, an evening to a wedding hall on the other side of town. Alleys are tight, Saint-Viateur loses a lane to terraces in summer, and street cleaning changes the plan weekly.
