Downtown on Sainte-Catherine Street sits Christ Church Cathedral. A landmark of note and fame, with the KPMG Tower built in its backyard, Christ Church Cathedral is the seat of the Anglican diocese of Montreal. The church was built in a quiet area in 1859, and now lies in the center of downtown, between Eaton Centre and The Bay. There is a shopping mall that was built under the church in the 1980's called Les Promenades de la Cathedrale.

This building on the corner of Rene-Levesque and Saint-Marc downtown has the coolest apartment on top of it, with a funky multi-level design and what look like solar panels on the top.

Le Stud

Well, there are sure are a lot of photos to post from my walk down Sainte-Catherine Street on April 1st. This one is from the part of the walk through the Gay Village district. I happened to pass this gay singles bar with a unique name that I am sure is quite appropriate for the patrons, although it sent shivers down my spine.

I took photos out my window after the first snowfall of winter 2005/2006, but in the days following christmas it snowed properly. There's nothing nicer than nice thick cotton wool snow, and however old you get. However grown-up you unwittingly...
