WOW!!! THE CITY OF SAINT JOHN DESTROYED THE FORMER HOME OF THE GREAT LOU MURPHY!!!

I visited the great Lou Murphy at his home on many occasions.

I was surprised when I noticed the Building all boarded up last Christmas.

Sad......

I guess the City of Saint John wanted to use the near Saint MLA home as an example???

If so???

SAD...SAD...SAD!!

I'll have a few questions to Saint John Mayor Ivan Court on this issue???

Lou Murphy who died in 1995 would be very upset if he was still around today.

He fought very hard to remove the tolls on the Harbour Bridge but without any success.







What really got him going was the time a funeral possession drove over the Harbour Bridge and each vehicle had to pay 25 cents.






This issue really got Lou Murphy and the rest is history.

The toll are going up to 50 cents beginning on Monday and there’s nothing the citizens can do about it.

Lou Murphy would be very upset indeed. He surely must be turning in his grave.
