Well, year. There is a layer of soil over limestone, the effects of the last ice age. The rocks are also a remnant. Miron used to have a huge gravel pit off Boul Saint-Charles at Boul. Hymus that used to blast every day at noon.

When I lived in the new development in Sainte-Anne-De-Bellevue, I got to witness how they'd prepare the land before digging the foundations. Every single lot received a stick or two of dynamite.

Montreal #1 construction solution. Dynamite.

So, anyway, even if it's like a sauna outside today, I dug up some bricks, saw another layer, and dug that one too... and that was it, no more bricks underneath, just regular rocks.

Sadly/boringly, it must have been a flower bed that the first owner put there only for a year or two before covering it back up with dirt. The second owner must not have dug up so many bricks in the end I suppose.

These bricks look too perfect to be from the pre-manufacturing days.

Is there an indentation in the other side? I have bricks made in the 1880's that look very good. But you are probably right.

Some silly sport that the Europeans mistakenly call football!

Fourth most-boring sport (after bowling, curling, and golf) and is only popular because it requires minimal skill. (Why do you think so many parents enroll their kids in soccer leagues?)
