  1. ehehee ask for the check, thats true, but because I think people would find it rude to recieve the check without asking for it... it would mean "would you leave already"... in NYC, restaurants are probably more crowded and have to empty tables at a faster rate hehehe fun read!
  2. Montreal workforce grows 177 per cent in two years Michael French Today, 4:14pm Games development population set to pass the 5,000 mark The latest figures from regional Canada agency Invest Quebec have revealed that the population of the local games development workforce is close to 5,000. Invest Quebec's recent annual survey counts the number of workers in the region's industry at 4,953. The survey looked at 56 companies in the Quebec region and calculated that the area has seen 177 per cent growth from 2005 to 2007 - no surprise to spectators elsewhere, who know all too well that the the region's tax credits have tempted publishers to ramp up their activity in the region. Ubisoft Montreal is the biggest employer in the state, with 1,609 employees - a number set to rise up to 3,000 thanks to a growth plan announced earlier this year. Second biggest is independent A2M, which has 438 employees, with EA Montreal behind it at 380. Eidos' recently opened Montreal base is not as big as those yet, at just 70 staff - but the quick ramp up to that number (it opened earlier this year) has already propelled it to be one of the 15 biggest studios in the region. http://www.developmag.com/news/28721/Montreal-workforce-grows-177-per-cent-in-two-years

    Canadiens de Montréal

    The Habs would never trade with a team in the same conference during the season...
  4. héhé! C'est un terrain très très bien placé! J'ai hâte que tu aies des détails! Merci du scoop.
  5. Ouais, Malek à même prit une une photo de la pancarte et l'a posté dans la page d'avant, je crois.
  6. Un peu plus je crois. C'est la longueur du petit garage (?) qu'il y a collé sur le Gordon Brown.

    Personnellement, trump nous proposerait une réplique de sa boite carré de 72 étages (trump world tower) à Montréal et je ne l'accepterais même pas. Y'a juste à New York où on peut se permettre de construire (dans les années 2000, pas 60) une tour carré comme ça. Vous imaginez à Montréal , que notre plus haute tour n'est aucun détail et aucune forme! Si Trump est pour constuire quelque chose à Montréal, j'espère que ça ressemblera bien plus à son projet dans Soho ou celui à Atlanta. Le voilà justement, celui d'Atlanta! :

    Square Cartier: 5 étages

    Et donc, il ressemble plus à quel rendu? Parce que c'est moi, ou la «tour» sur les deux rendus n'est pas pareille? C'est peut-être juste aussi que ce n'est pas le même côté qui est représenté.
  9. Je sais que ta remarque ce voulait une blague (ou un rêve;)), mais la différence est probablement dans la fonction du bâtiment. Le marché des condos de luxe est un peu saturé en ce moment, je crois.
  10. hihihihihi!! Ça monte vraiment vite! merci francely.

  12. Vive Montreal! It may not be Paris, but city is awash with Old World charm, warmth for Christmas By Mary Milz Special to The Courier-Journal Some say if you can't afford Paris, try Montreal, the most European city in North America. Not quite. Montreal is no Paris. And thanks to the strong Canadian dollar, it's not the bargain it once was, either. But it's still well worth the trip even on those nippy December days when temperatures hover in the 20s. With its strong French Catholic heritage, Montreal dresses in its Christmas finest and lights up for the holidays, encouraging visitors to join in the revelry. Montreal transported this Midwesterner worlds away without jumping time zones, without confusion over currency and without need of a pocket translator. It's just a two-hour fight from Chicago, Canadian coins pretty much mirror American, and while French is the primary language, everyone we encountered spoke English too. Montreal is Canada's second-largest city. More than 3.6 million people call the greater metropolitan area home. At first glance, Montreal stands out as a modern city with its gleaming skyscrapers, upscale shopping and internationally known restaurants. But bundle up and stroll its vibrant and varied neighborhoods and you find Montreal oozes Old World warmth and charm. Montreal provides the perfect three- to five-day getaway for travelers wanting big-city excitement without big-city hassles. Culturally diverse and rich in history, Montreal offers everything from top-notch museums and centuries-old churches to fabulous food and lively night life. Travelers intent on holiday shopping may feel giddy at the options. Saint Catherine Street, one of the longest streets in North America, is home to scores of trendy boutiques as well as the city's most prominent retailers, including Ogilvy. The landmark department store is famous for its bagpipers, who announce the noon hour each day; and its legendary Christmas windows, which come alive with animated toy animals. Shoppers wanting edgier, funkier gifts will enjoy browsing Saint Laurent Street. And if it's too frigid outdoors, shoppers can escape to the underground city. Twenty-two miles of subterranean walkways link shopping centers, boutiques, restaurants, cinemas, hotels and the subway. No need for a rental car. The Metro is fast, cheap and easy to navigate. Underground trains make stops every five to 10 minutes, taking passengers to 68 stations across the city. A single fair is $2.75; a three-day pass, $17, is also good for buses. Several police officers assured us it was safe at all hours. Montreal also enjoys a reputation for being well-kept. A recent survey by Mercer Human Resources Consulting rated it the 10th cleanest city in the world. Beware; this city takes its clean image seriously. As of last spring, anyone caught flinging trash on the ground faced a fine of up to $1,000! In addition to its cleanliness, Montreal prides itself on diversity, reflected in its assorted ethnic neighborhoods ranging from Chinatown to the Latin Quarter (also great areas for finding fun and unusual gifts). One afternoon, we wandered into the Mile-End neighborhood and stopped in the Fairmount Bagel Bakery where it's nothing but bagels and matzahs. It has been in business since 1919. Employees roll the bagels by hand, boil them and then bake them in wood-burning ovens. Scrumptious! No wonder they turn out more than 1,500 a day. We walked across the street to a small market selling imported cheeses, marinades, olive oil and specialty chocolates, striking up a conversation with owner Luigi DiVito. When we asked what he thought distinguished Montreal from other Canadian cities, such as Toronto, he said, "People are very open, very friendly, very welcoming. There's more life here. We like to live. The food and restaurants are amazing." Our stomachs agreed. Montreal is known for its fine cuisine, and with close to 6,000 restaurants, the choices are daunting. While French-style restaurants and bistros were once the mainstay, diners now find a hearty selection of Middle Eastern, North African, Asian and Latin-American eateries, to name a few. Our hotel's concierge proved especially helpful in narrowing the choices. While we found prices comparable with large metropolitan cities, many Montreal restaurants offer table d'hote or fixed-price meals. You can get a three- or four-course meal for slightly more than the price of an a la carte main course. After a week of experiencing Montreal and its popular attractions, we left enamored and singing a decidedly different tune: Even if you can afford Paris, try Montreal. http://www.courier-journal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071028/FEATURES05/710280350
  13. Je crois que si on le retrouve partout, c'est plutôt que la Ville de Montréal voit en ce monument une certaine beauté et importance qui ne sont malheureusement pas mis en valeur à l'endroit où il est présentement. La Ville veut simplement s'assurer que le monument soit changer de place.
  14. Moi je trouve ça très bien de développer le centre par le sud. C'est un coin qui a besoin de renouveau, bien plus que l'ouest. J'ai remarqué ça aujourd'hui : Le projet de la rue university comprend le déménagement de l’Homme de Calder? ou c'est moi qui voit mal?
  15. yeah hyperactive type you want to smack across the face with a baseball bat.
  16. Le projet de Panzini a été annulé il y a longtemps, mais Supermanmtl nous a appris, au printemps passé, que le terrain avait été acheté et qu'il y avait un nouveau projet. C'est pour ça les fouilles qu'il y avait eues.
  17. Supermanmtl, est-ce que le projet est à l'eau? Ou c'est tout simplement long?
