  1. That's what I thought when I clicked on the thread.
  2. I have heard from sometimes reliable sources that Quebec will transfer the entire Royal Victoria Hospital complex, at no cost, to McGill and the Neuro. All McGill will have to do is come up with $350 million to restore and renovate it---piece of cake. I also heard that some of the bland 1950's additions to the RVH will be demolished as a gesture to the mountain NIMBY's, to be replaced eventually with new low rise buildings that will not be visible when looking at the mountain.
  3. The former Bank of Toronto building would be an asset to the quartier if the exterior were cleaned and restored. Does anyone know how much of the Faubourg office building is occupied by Concordia?
  4. Guy-Concordia was always one of the plainest metro stations and looked drab even in the 1970's. It was also plagued with ground water seepage even back then.
  5. A suggestion should be made to the architects that they incorporate stylized versons of the cranes on the roof of the finished building. It would certainly be an eyecatcher.
  6. This house would make a great centerpiece for some complex. The rest of the site is vacant, I believe.
  7. The new Shriner's section looks like the best part of the complex.
  8. McPizza AARRGGHH!!! McDonald's never sold it in the States. I tried it once in Montréal: AARRGGHH!!!
  9. The UdeS building is beautiful but the rest of the 1960's era highrises in the area are gawdawful ugly.
  10. Ditto with Google Chrome! So maybe you get 20 free article views per browser per month: Explorer, Safari, Chrome and Firefox??
  11. I opened The Gazette in Safari and I can view articles even though I used up my free allotmemt while viewing The Gazette in Explorer!
  12. Another option for tramways is the "subway-surface" system. This is used in Boston, Philadelphia and San Francisco. The tram runs on the surface in outlying areas and in a tunnel through downtown. The surface portion could be street running or separate right of way depending on the community served.
  13. When the new MUHC was first announced, back in the Paleolithic Age, the McGill Faculties of Medicine and Dentistry were supposed to relocate to the new campus. That idea was dropped even before the Glen site was chosen. Maybe that high cost included those academic buildings.
