Montrealbunny: I finally got around to taking another walk in this direction. This is the back of the building at 4000 St Ambroise. There is a french cuisine resto tucked away there that I......

EvilGentleman: Jennifer, you must be unfamiliar with this site to post comments such as you did above. If you browse CE's other articles, which you can do by clicking on his name just under the main......

Paul: I live in downtown Toronto and I think our downtown is quite impressive, with the coloured lights on the Skydome and CN Tower it really enhances the night view and the Royal Bank Plaza glitters......

EvilGentleman: El, since they were government-funded homes originally intended for the families of veterans returning from WWII, it is most unfortunate that the government decided to stop funding them. If you look at the comments in the......

EvilGentleman: Good point, but in Montreal, we have speed limits, unlike on the autobahns. And North American headlight flashing is usually reserved for emergencies, telling drivers to go ahead at stop signs and letting big-rig drivers......

coolopolis.blogspot.com: Photos were all taken from the Maritime Plaza Hotel, northwest corner of Guy and Dorchester (the latter street has since been renamed after a cursed separatist politician). The third photo is of the Desjardins seafood......

EvilGentleman: Finally dropped below freezing again last night. It's now -4 out there. Oh well, only 2 1/2 months until REAL spring... And in the Arctic, I had whole years where the highest temperature was 19. I......

EvilGentleman: The areas bordering Verdun are pretty much the same, as well. Pointe-Saint-Charles, east of Verdun, is historically Irish, and today is a mixed community where English is not a problem. Ville-Emard, to the north of Verdun, has......

EvilGentleman: Wow! Just wow! Great post, TK. As far as the "20/20 hindsight" inspections of other structures **after** the collapse goes, we have the same thing happening here. After the overpass collapse that killed 5 people in September......

Elicar: In a morbid way, it's nice to hear EvilG rant again, if ya know what I mean! EvilG, In Ontario, we pay a health care premium. I am not sure about the amount now as tax......

EvilGentleman: I still laugh when I hear Montrealers referring to the ski hills an hour to the North as "Up North", when the phrase always makes me think of my old homes in the Arctic. To......

CE: This alley runs north/south whereas the railway runs east/west (by Montreal definitions which anyone from Montreal knows have nothing to do with what a compass might tell you). The trees that can bee seen......

Jeff: I am from Boston and even though my home city is very nice and livable like Montreal (my favorite), it doesn't make my top five skyline cities: 1) HONG KONG - Very difficult to......

CE: It's a pedestrian street. Cars can travel across it at intersections but they're mostly narrow one-way streets so not much traffic travels across the street. Cafe and restaurant terraces spill out onto the......

CE: The picture of the second factory doesn't do its size justice at all. It's a massive building that towers over you when you're near it and even when you're on the other side of......

EvilGentleman: Terrible tragedy, amazing photos. Thank you for thinking of sharing this with us, it really helps us understand the need to fix the crumbling highway infrastructure across North America. Here in Quebec, we are presently having......

CE: I actually haven't been taking a lot of photos lately. Just not super inspired or maybe still overwhelmed by Montreal. I have been branching out a lot more lately as far as exploration......

Tehoke: This picture seems to be taken about 5 blocks west of The Sun Life building, from an upper floor of what is now the Quality Inn on Crescent Street or More likely the building that......

EvilGentleman: CartLegger, I lived in the land currently known as the Territory of Nunavut from 1991 to 1999, except for a two-year break in the mid-1990's. From 1999 to 2005, I lived in Nunavik, the Inuit......

Chris Erb: The controversy is starting to pour in so here are my reasons for excluding some cities that I was considering: **Ottawa:** For a city its size and importance, the skyline in't very impressive. The Parlement......

EvilGentleman: Hmmm, interesting. I have never encountered this data before. I know that if you look at a topographic map, you can see an easily identifiable line of hills and mountains sticking out of the flat......

Danny: Toronto Sucks. Welcome to Montreal. Home of hockey, gastronomy, diversity and the party mecca of North America. P.S.Toronotonians are hideous and have no sense of style.[[img:14484]] ...

EvilGentleman: Yeah, we were lucky here in Montreal yesterday. It was only 93F, but with the 61% humidity, it felt like 115F, according to Environment Canada. The Jordanians in the apartment next door to me told......

EvilGentleman: Nakurmiik, I miss the mountains very much now, especially the part coming up soon when the ice breaks up. But I missed the summer heat here in Montreal, too. Nice to have real heat for a......

EvilGentleman: As far as I know, the block you are referring to (the north side of Sainte-Catherine between Lambert-Closse and de Chomedy) has closed down simply due to the fact that the Forum closed in 1996,......

EvilGentleman: Lemme see, in the NWT, only Yellowknife and Fort Smith, where I trained at Thebacha Campus of Aurora College for two months in 1998. Oh, but we also had a tour of Wood Buffalo National......

EvilGentleman: The first pic is on Rene Levesque Boulevard (Dorchester to **true** Montrealers) looking west past Place Ville Marie. Second pic is Place Ville Marie, which was the tallest building in Montreal for 25 years starting in......

in response to: Tall Buildings of Montreal by CE

EvilGentleman: Ironically, I have seen taller buildings in Iqaluit, Nunavut. And the buildings in Montreal were originally not allowed to be higher than Mount Royal (much like Halifax and the Citadel). Nowadays, the heights of the buildings......

EvilGentleman: LOL, thanks for the suggestion, cat. But I no longer live in northern Canada, I am now in suburban Montreal. The only dangerous animals here are the 'throw the meat patty and rough up the......
