Sherbrooke Street

The New Penelope was a coffeehouse and concert venue that operated in Montreal, Canada from 1966 to 1968. Originally located on Stanley St., it moved to Sherbrooke St. West in 1967. Owned by musician Gary Eisenkraft, who started learning business at age 17 in 1964, he took over The Fifth Dimension coffeehouse at 1455 Bleury St. and subsequently renamed it The Fifth Amendment. The Reverend Gary Davis, The Greenbriar Boys, Eric Andersen, and John Hammond were among the folk and blues acts who performed at this venue. The Fifth Amendment closed in the spring of 1965. That summer, Eisenkraft opened a new coffeehouse called The Penelope on Bishop St. The Penelope lasted only five months but was followed shortly after by The New Penelope, a larger coffeehouse and concert venue that operated at 1432 Stanley from spring to December of 1966. While the Penelope and the Fifth Amendment had primarily presented acoustic blues, folk and bluegrass acts, the New Penelope on Stanley St. hosted concerts by rock and roll and electric blues bands. Among those who performed there were the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Canadian folk-pop acts Ian and Sylvia and Gordon Lightfoot, as well as local rock bands like The Sidetrack and The Cavemen. By the winter of 1967, Eisenkraft had moved The New Penelope to 378 Sherbrooke St. W. and hired the young artist Francois Dallegret for its interior design. The minimalist layout consisted of bleacher-type seating with long wooden planks arranged over metal pipe scaffolding. The first band to perform at the new venue was the emerging Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention, who played there every night for two weeks. This appearance was notable since the band's first album, Freak Out!, had been just released that summer. The New Penelope's Sherbrooke St. location had a capacity of over 200 people, albeit not every concert saw such turnout. The first appearance of Joni Mitchell at the café in 1967 was sparsely attended, but by the spring of 1968, Mitchell was returning to host several shows there. Mitchell was not the only singer-songwriter of the "folk-rock" style to play the New Penelope around that time. Tim Hardin, Tim Buckley and Richie Havens also gave concerts and singer-songwriter Jesse Winchester played there regularly. Among the blues performers who played at the New Penelope in 1967 and 1968 were Muddy Waters, Junior Wells, James Cotton, and Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee. Notable rock groups that also played there include The Linn County Blues Band, The Fugs, and The Young Ones. The New Penelope found itself in financial difficulty by the summer of 1968. Despite various fundraising efforts and benefit concerts, it closed its doors for good in November, 1968.

Milton Park (French: Milton-Parc), commonly known as the McGill Ghetto, is a neighbourhood in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is situated directly to the east of the McGill University campus in the borough of Plateau-Mont-Royal. It is named after the neighbourhood's two main streets, Milton Street and Park Avenue. Many McGill students live in this area, which is characterized by a mix of rowhouses and low- to mid-rise apartment buildings. The area is roughly bordered by University Street and the university campus to the west, Sherbrooke Street to the south, Pine Avenue to the north, and Park Avenue and the Lower Plateau neighborhood to the east, though McGill University considers this area to extend as far east as Saint Laurent Boulevard or just short of Saint-Louis Square. The neighbourhood has many historic townhouses built in the late 19th century, which housed affluent businessmen and their families. The area remained a wealthy enclave throughout the early half of the 20th century. Eventually, many of the affluent residents of the area moved to other boroughs such as Westmount or to the suburbs. While the space is colloquially known as the "Ghetto", the name for the area is used with the original definition of the word "ghetto": an inner-city neighborhood segregated from the rest of the population. The McGill Ghetto's population mostly consists of monolingual students coming from other Canadian provinces and English speaking foreign students who tend to stay in the "Ghetto" and avoid mixing with the local francophone population. The word "ghetto" is thus used ironically because this area is not segregated due to economic pressure but because its population chooses to isolate itself from the rest of the city due to cultural and linguistic barriers. There is a movement against this nomenclature because it suggests that the area is completely inhabited by extra-provincial anglophone students, while it is also home to many families, working professionals and long-term residents. Montreal's historic Jewish "Ghetto" coincides in part with the present student Ghetto, meeting at the intersection of Duluth and Saint Laurent.The area has many small businesses catering to the needs of the local McGill community including The Word Bookstore, Café Lola Rosa, and several small convenience stores, as well as many "third place" hangouts.
