Most of the posts about Fredericton have been centred pretty much around the south side of the city so I figured I would get some pictures of the other side of the St. John River to even things out a bit. The north side is pretty much residential with the exception of Main Street which is a pretty horrible array of strip malls and smaller box stores like Home Hardware and Shoppers Drug Marts. I guess it's the downtown of the area but it's pretty sad (I wasn't really able to get any pictures as I don't have a wide...

To the Top

I crossed over it on an overpass and saw a pathway going behind the houses. I followed it to this: The highway as it chops through the neighbourhood: Ah, progress.

Recycling Day!

author: CE : Montreal, QC

It seems like everyone in this city recycles! The borough says the recuperation rate is only at 18% but there are blue boxes in front of almost every building around here!

Decarie Hot Dogs

Apparently this is the best place in the city to get a hotdog. Being a vegetarian I can't attest to this but I can say that the french fries are absolutely delicious! Blvd Decarie, Ville Saint-Laurent, Montreal

Norgate Shopping Centre

author: CE : Montreal, QC

Canada's first strip mall built in 1949. My eyes always tear up a bit with pride when looking at this beautiful first in mass consumerism. Find out more about Norgate on Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norgate_shopping_centre blvd Decarie, Ville Saint-Laurent, Montreal
