Deacon's Corner

is a big Petro-Canada truck stop at the corner of Hwy #1 and Hwy #207, just east of the floodway.  When we were very young, before Fermor became #1, the corner of Hwy #1 and Hwy #59 ( Lagimodiere), was called Warren's Corner, but then that became the name of a sporting goods store and is never heard any more.  I once dated a farmer who lived on that corner.  I wonder if it's true that reminiscense is a sign of old age.
Beth, do you remember when we used to go to Caddy Lake on work parties and had to head out #1.  We would go over the Elm Park Bridge and then dipsy-doodle through the back streets to get onto #1.  At one time Auntie Ruby lived in St. Vital and we had to go almost past her house while we were doing it, so you might have some recollection, as Mom used to point the house out to us.
