i decided to deviate from the one-thread-a-month approach i've been taking since the summer and create something of a themed phototour. last week i took some time to visit three distinct montreal neighbourhoods, each located in different parts of the city. these aren't comprehensive tours; they're just brief glimpses of each area on a winter day.
feel free to post questions or comments about each neighbourhood.
côte-des-neiges
located a few miles northwest of downtown, on the other side of mount royal, côte-des-neiges and a large and varied neighbourhood containing montreal's largest university, several other schools and colleges, some big hospitals and plenty of distinct areas. i focused on the central area near the côte-des-neiges metro station.
rosemont
rosemont is a big, sleepy neighbourhood in the east end of montreal, about four to five miles from downtown. it has two main points of interest: a small commercial district around molson park, in the upper part of the neighbourhood, and another commercial district down the hill in an area known as old rosemont.
downtown west end
the downtown west end (sometimes known as the concordia ghetto, and not to be confused with the west end) is located to the west of montreal's main midtown retail and office core and about a mile and a half northwest of the financial district. its eastern reaches are home to concordia university, which is responsible for much of the neighbourhood's flavour.
