procyon: I guess someone has to mow those four tiny dots of grass.

indykid: Thanks for compliments and for the lesson in art/design! I'm on my way to Wikipedia now and will hopefully soon be all knowledged up on Art Nouveau! :-) I also love the posts avoiding the tourist clichés... when in Paris (unfortunately at the end of my trip) I realised that I...

CE: I can't believe I've never seen this, it isn't far from my house but I guess I don't ride along the canal nearly enough.

CE: I agree that the buildings are a bit banal and utilitarian but also quite stately looking. Nonetheless, they look better than 95% of most new construction. I would agree that the two buildings in the second to last photo look pretty new. Just based on the simple...

in response to Debaliviere Place

CE: Not to be picky but the Metro entrance is actually in the art nouveau style, designed by Hector Guimard. Paris has dozens of them, many of them much more elaborate than this one. Montreal actually has one that was donated by the city of Paris. Great post, you've really...

EvilGentleman: You know, I had never thought of the unicycle bit. I was thinking that this was another example of a society that cannot afford enough doctors or school textbooks spending my tax dollars on a questionable art piece. I can think of so many potholes where this asphalt would be...

EvilGentleman: I guess I stand corrected, albeit with a bit of egg on my face. Would you believe that new condos in Montreal often look exactly like the lighter coloured buildings in this post? Especially the second last photo, I saw one of those under construction yesterday. I guess I have...

curiousgeorgio: I dunno about that idea that there's a drug dealer near by. . . If you buy you'd already know and wouldn't need shoes to tell you. And if you weren't from there are they supposed to meet you at the shoes? cuz I don't have all day.... ;-P

upfromflames: how did someone get such a big image onto citynoise?

in response to A spy on the ground

upfromflames: Is that a real progam happening or a just marketting-type hopefulness for real estate returns?

in response to Revitalize

jacob: talk more about the civil war that he was in

in response to Who\'s Burried in Grant\'s Tomb?

kricket: i love the look of that warriors poster, even if it is just an ad for the game. cool photos.

in response to Coney Island Low

maybetoday: All but one of the buildings pictured were built between 1915 and 1920. One building was built in 1930. There hasn't really been any new construction here for quite a while. The only new construction I can think of are some homes on Delmar (northern edge of...

joey: Giraffiti: Vandalism spray-painted very, very high.
