context_section_description: Fairmount Bagel has been located on Fairmount street since 1949. For 70 years this storefront has been a monument to the Montreal Mile End community. The painting “Fairmount Bagel In Winter” by Carole Spandau was chosen to represent the Plateau Mont-Royal in the Fall 2013 exhibit at the Pointe-à-Callière Museum in Montreal. Many artists have used the iconic storefront as a source of inspiration. These artworks can be found on the Fairmount Bagel website.
