  1. http://www.journaldemontreal.com/2012/08/21/des-trottoirs-de-granit-seront-bientot-installes
  2. Now that I think about it, we do get very strong winds on the Plaza Ville-Marie (whatever it's called)
  3. Here's what the south side looked like just last December http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:1253McGillCollege.jog.jpg Why did that side look so different? I would have thought being on Cathcart shielded it from strong winds / rains.
  4. Domino's Pizza is gone! There's a notice from the city in the window.
  5. Crap. As much as I look forward to more people living in the area, this project will be my personal hell for the next couple of years... You see, my office is located in the "TD Assurances" building (BTW they moved out a while ago, they just paid for sign privileges for a long time) Not sure I should mention the floor, but I'm sitting by the wall to the run-down building/facade, which doubles as a very noisy pigeon sanctuary in the summer. Considering how much I hear the birds, and with the Saint-M and Tour Viger construction sites already loud enough as it is, I'll probably have to pull out the earplugs for this one PS there were a bunch of Nettoyage Apres Sinistre vans in front of Domino's Pizza today. Related?
  6. Are YOU being serious? I am speaking from experience, but take a look at those links. (quick google search: from serious to sorta-hilarious) http://www2.canada.com/montrealgazette/columnists/story.html?id=681f1cba-0c8a-47e1-9986-4ea7b0e41c35 http://www.globalmontreal.com/cops+refused+help+assault+victim+says/4103287/story.html http://montreal.ctvnews.ca/two-men-suffer-knife-wounds-in-downtown-knife-attack-1.764081 http://www.openfile.ca/montreal/suggested/dangerous-mcdonald%E2%80%99s-corner-mackay-and-ste-catherine http://thelinknewspaper.ca/article/900/ http://www.rave.ca/en/community_thread/38334/page1/ This happened to me last year, when twelve of these kids jumped us at around 10PM on a hot Friday night. I basically couldn't do a thing because they were all underaged and I didn't feel like going to jail. I was lucky and got out with a bruised ego and lots of spit to my face. Since then we usually come back home via Sherbrooke or Maisonneuve. Don't get me wrong, I know it's not Montreal's biggest problem at the moment. It's a problem nonetheless and the worst thing to do about it is to turn a blind eye. There is a street gang problem at that intersection, plain and simple.
  7. Too bad this corner is such a street gang magnet... maybe this new building'll help somewhat? They normally hang out in front. One of the few remaining "dangerous" places over here. I think this new building might be student residences.
  8. Sort of related, from J de M: Spectrum mort, mais pas enterré http://www.journaldemontreal.com/2012/08/02/spectrum-mort-mais-pas-enterre

  10. Video: Une descente dans les entrailles du CHUM http://tvanouvelles.ca/lcn/infos/regional/montreal/archives/2012/07/20120719-195752.html Can someone explain the part about the Turcot interchange? Did they dump everything they extracted around the site, and will somehow use this stuff to "rebuild" Turcot?
  11. Surprisingly, I haven't spotted cockroaches in quite some time. Maybe none since early June. Is it because of the heat / summer season? Repairs to the St-Mathieu exit? Actual exterminators coming in and doing their job?

    Quartier Concordia

    Not sure how I feel about those mega-roofs. They'll draw the homeless folks, smokers and random douchebags for sure. Can't wait for the St-Mathieu entrance to re-open, sick of entering the metro through Concordia. Pleased with the sidewalks and bike path though. 'bout time.
  13. I've lived around Shaughnessy for some time and I really hope this project sparks up the area. Clean up Cabot Square, get rid of that gas station and do something with the old Omer Dessere!
  14. They've been preparing the crane in Le Chateau's backyard since at least last year. I'm thinking it has to do with renovations. Have you guys ever noticed how often they clean up Port Royal? Perhaps Chateau got some complaints and needed to catch up. Or perhaps I'm completely wrong and this is an entirely new project.
  15. Some nice footage. http://tvanouvelles.ca/lcn/infos/regional/montreal/archives/2012/06/20120619-202002.html
  16. That's not where I was told Adonis would open downtown. Last I heard, they were looking at eastern Old Montreal (Silhouette salesperson). Anyway there's already PA, Provigo and Metro for this area. I'm certainly not against Adonis or Metro opening at Seville, don't get me wrong. Those neverending P.A. lineups are getting annoying.
  17. Updated w/ horrible cellphone pictures to show the banner. In the future I'll try to use a real camera. Update 2: The catwalk is being taken down as we speak. Pictures to come unless someone beats me to it.
  18. http://gramercyresidences.ca/ A very large banner currently surrounds the existing building at 1900 Sherbrooke. Seems like the sales office will be at 1950. Interestingly enough, even though both buildings are currently connected by a catwalk, the renders indicate that it would be removed. Finally the 8F building "Gramercy Courts" would be a new construction (currently a parking lot). ---- Official Renders (05/07/12) ---- ---- Street View (05/08/12) ----
