EvilGentleman: Aw, darn. I was hoping the next post was gonna be "Broads of Broad Street"

in response to Home Pt. 5: Downtown (Broad Street)

EvilGentleman: I'm honestly not 100% sure on this subject, but I know in most cases, alcohol is not permitted on streets or in parks, except for places like sidewalk cafes and the Six Flags La Ronde amusement park. I have personally seen the cops give a guy a 140 dollar ticket...

in response to Montreal Police Bicycle

Chris Erb: Somebody had told me that he was in Montreal and was talking about how much more care free the city is compared to other parts of Canada and started telling a story about a time he was in a sandwich shop and ordered a sandwich and a beer. He...

in response to Montreal Police Bicycle

Chris Erb: It's called Broad Street beause the street is quite... broad. It's actually a boulevard which is why it is generally referred to as "The Boulevard" by most locals. It is also sometimes called "Broadway" for some reason. There's even a cafe in the section that I didn't...

in response to Home Pt. 5: Downtown (Broad Street)

EvilGentleman: Yes indeed, it was hard at first, but once bag-tagging was taken to hand, a good stiff competition soon developed. One great prospect after another would rise to the forefront, only to be sacked shortly afterwards. Unlike World Cup football, kicking the balls was definitely frowned upon. And hitting balls...

Selig: hmm i think i spot another robot! esso greets in muffled tones, he smells of petrol.

in response to There\'s No Relief for the Bleeding Heart

chiamattt: police exercising discretion? now i've heard everything.

in response to Montreal Police Bicycle

Selig: "So I told him I did not care about him..." gold! makes me happy :)

in response to Montreal Police Bicycle

EvilGentleman: Speaking of Freudian slips, I wonder why it's called "Broad Street" in the first place? And "Hope Depot" is obviously the car dealership-turned-church in the last picture. Let's hear it for copyright infringement in the name of evangelism! Not!

in response to Home Pt. 5: Downtown (Broad Street)

colavitos ghost: whoa, peter! weird freudian slip, there...."hope depot"? anything but! (hahahaha! I almost typed "anything buy")

in response to Home Pt. 5: Downtown (Broad Street)

EvilGentleman: I forgot to mention, bag-tagging is an important sport crucial to the development of male involuntary reflexes, and its origins can be traced all the way back to homo erectus.

in response to Montreal Police Bicycle

EvilGentleman: So far as I know, drinking in public parks is only permitted at certain events where permits are given for the sale of alcoholic beverages for that day or days, and the event organizers are then deemed to be responsible for ensuring that the public drinking does not spill over...

in response to Montreal Police Bicycle

sally: well, officer peter, you better tell them to simma down now...

in response to Brooklyn Bull

sally: anarchy!

in response to Chaos Chair

Chris Erb: Oh, I definitely, quality over quanity is certainly the way to go. I was looking more at a bit of a friendly competition between Montreal and Houston than a full out battle royale of sorts haha. On the original article: How is this place NOT condemned yet?

in response to Dilapidated

Chris Erb: I'm glad to hear that it's a decent place. It's hard to tell from Google Earth and I've been having a hard time finding anything about the area on the internet (except that the street I'm living on is home to Canada's first strip mall). I'm hoping the place I've...

in response to Mystery Apartment

Chris Erb: Is it true that you can drink in a park in Montreal so long as you're eating a meal with it? I like that you tagged "bag sweat"

in response to Montreal Police Bicycle

alt razvan: Super tare sportul asta. imi place la nebunie. daca as putea afla si de unde sa fac rost d filmuletze, ar fi cel mai tare. daca stie cineva astept IM p mess : reaper90man

Biff: There is only one Catherine. The others are Kates...

in response to Viva Italia...!

EvilGentleman: That area is pretty diverse and while not entirely crime-free, it does not have a bad name by any stretch of the imagination. All in all, a pretty safe area, I would say. Vanier college is located nearby, and there is some good shopping fairly close to the metro, especially...

monster: norman oklahoma, just so you know, is the home of the flaming lips, the starlight mints, mainsite contemporary art, opolis productions and forward foods, just to name a few things. Not to forget the university of oklahoma and its many amenities; world class art museum, amazing engineering and energy departments...It...

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: Me, Catherine? Or are there more? My interest in the world cup was limited to watching the penalty kicks in the England/Portugal game. Sorry. I'm a bad brit, I know.

in response to Viva Italia...!

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: any relative of the Mercy Seat?

in response to Chaos Chair

A.J.: hey no one can insult the OKC i love it,well of course i do its my home,anyway my uncle told me of parkour and i would like to get into any places for a noob like me?

in response to Oklahoma City

Chris Erb: Sussex is a neat place but I would never want to live there again. It's fun to go back but not for very long. It's much more interesting to be in the town looking at it from a new set of eyes now. I imagine Moffet's and many of...

in response to Home Pt. 5: Downtown (Broad Street)

Chris Erb: That looks like a tank!

in response to Fire

Chris Erb: Apparently my apartment is a one minute walk from that metro stop. Do you know anything about the neighbourhood around it?

in response to Mystery Apartment

Peter: ive always liked airport fire trucks best... they look unstoppable (and seriously menacing):

in response to Fire

EvilGentleman: Oh, I never even noticed those. Cool.

in response to Fire

Peter: nice find. i like the folding steps that go up the side...

in response to Fire

EvilGentleman: I think he's referring to the pic of the market, with its signs of 10 lb potatoes and 99 lb tomatoes. I never knew there were hillbillies in the Maritimes. Mind you, back in the late 1970's, when I was a kid on the old air force base in Chatham (now...

in response to Home Pt. 4: Downtown (Main Street)

EvilGentleman: When I am unable to drive my wife to work, she changes buses at du College metro.

in response to Mystery Apartment

EvilGentleman: Almost every fire truck in Montreal is red, so I was quite surprised to see this yellow one at the Urgences Sante building by the corner of Cavendish and Cote de Liesse, in the Saint-Laurent borough.

in response to Fire

LWAMC: im the lead guitarist for RUBIDIUM, and have gigged with sodium for years and i gotta admit, if you havent caught an i love sodium show, youre missing out on the hardest hardk0re metal lincolnshire has to offer. maybe its too underground for your scene, but keep your ear to...

in response to Mofidious

anon (d14-69-175-113.try.wideopenwest.com): Me, my husband and 3 kids went here last year and the kids had a blast walking through the river and climbing the fossil wall and going under the falls. My husband and I loved it too! What a great place we just happened upon.

in response to rock glen conservation park

Peter: yay coney island! i had heard they were gonna light it up, but hadnt gotten around to seeing any pics yet, so thanks. wow, the second and third shots are grand.

in response to Parachute Jump

in response to Mofidious

Peter: yeah, im glad to see winnipeg up in here!

in response to Discount Everything

Peter: nice stencil!

in response to Midtown Bridge

Peter: that garden is awesome! i wish people around here would pay as much attention to the little plots of green they have... so much potential in such little spaces, yet they always seem choked with weeds or unruly shrubs. your neighborhood looks pretty. i, for one, wouldnt mind seeing more.

in response to Morning Walk: Part Two

Peter: nice. id like a car like gareth, but with less rust...

in response to Gareth the Patriotic Car

Peter: awesome! my hometown had a main street and a broad street that ran parallel- in opposing directions- through downtown. sussex looks like a neat place. and, you gotta love places like moffet's. theyre all but disappearing nowadays...

in response to Walter

EvilGentleman: Chris, I agree it is cool to see us having an effect on the charts here, but after the initial excitement wore off, I realized it is better to just post because something is too good to not post, and whatever the charts do, they do. I no longer worry...

in response to Dilapidated

Chris Erb: It appears that a competition has oficially begun between Montreal and Houston haha. The stakes will be much higher once I've moved!

in response to Dilapidated

EvilGentleman: No problem, Katy. Did you catch the article in today's Gazette about the new buildings being powered by geothermal wells? Pretty darn cool, if you ask me.
