Major road closures in the Turcot and Saint-Pierre interchanges, as well as other major routes in and around Montreal will make avoiding those areas a wise idea for commuters who do not like headaches and the sight of brake lights. The Montreal Beneva Marathon will also cause multiple street closures on Saturday and Sunday.

GROSSE POINTE CITY Longtime business owners are vowing to rebuild after an unidentified group of suspects rammed a pickup truck into their gas station Feb. 13 to break loose a safe that had been bolted to the floor.
Cameron and Karen Lawrence have owned the BP gas station at the corner of Mack Avenue and Rivard Boulevard for the last 30 years. They’ve long given back to local Little League and Red Baron football programs and have hosted car washes for booster clubs, and the support they’ve extended to the community is now coming back to them.
