We kicked off summer with a scream in Montreal this year. The first annual Heavy MTL festival was held at Montreal's Parc Jean Drapeau this weekend. There were 22 different heavy metal bands playing in an open-air setting over the weekend, Staurday, June 21, and Sunday June 22. Parc Jean Drapeau is located on St. Helen's Island, the location of Expo 67 and the 1976

Phono-Graf

While talking to people in Cabot Square across from the old Montreal Forum on a recent afternoon, I wound up talking to Sammy, a fellow who just recently arrived in the area from Ottawa.

It is one of the most stunning works of art I have ever seen.

Wedgie!!!

author: Montrealbunny : Montreal, QC

I was walking along St Antoine yesterday and the god-awful grinding noise I heard turned out to be this tractor-trailer firmly wedged under a bridge. Based on the damage, he must have tried going backwards and forwards to get unstuck. I managed to slink behind the girders and get in a few good shots, irate truck-driver notwithstanding.
