Unless I've completely missed it, I'm a bit surprised nobody posted this article. REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT: INTENSIFICATION Is Kensington about to get a new suit? Developers - and the local councillor - have big plans for the market's quiet laneways JOHN LORINC Special to The Globe and...

Yes, it's on Grange, right by Beverly. I agree with Darkstar: I think it's very respectful of its surroundings. A building doesn't need to mindlessly ape the architecture of its neighbours in order to fit in.

Very nice, understated photos.

West Island?! That had nothing to do with it. The commercial district's move away from Old Montreal was a 200-year trend. First the city's main node of commecial activity shifted away from St. Paul St. to Place d'Armes, then up St. Laurent and over to Victoria Square. The city's retail heart...

Did you see part one? What about part two?

as stinky as it may be, stinky tofu doesn't really smell like shit. i find your friend's story (or was it a friend of a friend?) hard to believe.

I hope you realize that Montreal, like every other big city in Canada, contributes more in taxes than it receives in government funding.

First tip is to use the Flickr uploader tool... but you've probably figured that out. I also recommend being very, very rigorous in categorizing your photos by tag. Tag all of them as soon as they're uploaded with any information that will help you and others find them in the future. Remember...

Except that most products sold at T&T do not come from China. They're made in Hong Kong, Taiwan, southeast Asia, the USA and, of course, Canada. Generally, you will not find anyone with a lower view of mainland Chinese products than Hong Kong people...

Huh?

No, it was a henna tattoo. I think she was uncomfortable from all of the attention... including the guy standing 15 feet away taking a picture of her.

Did you see part one?

Yes, it just begs to be photographed, which actually makes me kind of resent it. So I took I photo but tried to make it look as trivial as possible.

So I went to Toronto. I had a lot of fun. I took a lot of photos. You want to know more? Go jump in a lake...

There's already a Starbucks in the Spadina/Dundas area: it's at Dundas and Huron. Maybe a Starbucks will open in Kensington... but a Second Cup has already lived and died there. It's not a very chain-friendly environment given that most of the surrounding businesses offer higher quality...

Some of the things mentioned in this plan are already in the works such as the construction of a cross-downtown bike route along Maisonneuve Blvd. Also, a new commuter line is being constructed between Central Station and Mascouche, via Ahuntsic and Repentigny. One of the possibilities is to...

It's hard to argue with subjective observations. I frankly don't see how any part of downtown Montreal could be dumpier than downtown Toronto. Is Ste. Catherine dirtier than Yonge Street? I don't think so. Anyway, this kind of bickering is pointless.

She was probably disgusted with them as most quebeckers were. In any case, as much as i think what he said was abhorrent and indefensible, it's a huge stretch to imagine that "money" referred to Jews. More likely it referred to... money. Frankly there is absolutely no evidence to indicate that...

finally, a coordinated effort to promote both toronto and montreal... as for the G&M column, it's basically a rehash of every negative trend that has been discussed in montreal recently. there's nothing original about it. besides, the figures yakabuski quotes are selective and misleading...

Now that the weather is nicer I hope to travel more extensively around the city. I've posted plenty of photos of those neighbourhoods before, though. For example, you can see my Park Extension photos on Flickr here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/christopherdewolf/tags/parkextension/ There's...
