For my entire life. My ENTIRE life. we drove from NYC or Boston to Quebec City. Sherbrooke is the gas/bathroom stop. Close to Thetford Mines.

I was 40 years old when I learned Thetford Mines was mining asbestos. So the Sherbrooke region is called Estrie. The french accent there is hysterically funny. Tagging Mop and mafic and probably many others.
