Très belle photos merci.

Une chose que je remarque: regardez les rues, elles sont toutes intactes. Que s'est-il passé!

THis city has been butchered beyond recognition. Montreal certainly isn't as pretty as it once was. Our downtown core especially is an eyesore.

love love love that selection. very eclectic and layered choices :tup:

I have to disagree with you. Yes, we have lost many, many beautiful buildings, but the massacre was in the 1950's through the 1970's. In the 70's and 80's, Montreal was at its most ugly: full of surface parking lots everywhere it looked like a bombed city, very depressing. Today, the city is much improved compare to 30 years ago and it never stops to beautify itself (quartier International, restoration of Old Montreal, Quartier des spectacles, échangeur des Pins, DeMaisonneuve, Saint-Laurent, square Dorchester, Amherst, Old Port, Griffintown, Canal Lachine, Place d'Armes, Square Victoria, Place Jean-Paul Riopelle, Quartier Concordia, etc. It goes on and on.

Oh I fully agree with the examples you brought up, but for me Victorian Montreal and up until the 1940's was the city at its finest. The beginning of the new city in the 1950's ended this period forever.

Agreed. Back in the forties, René-Lévesque (or rather Dorchester) street was narrow and lined with victorian mansions. It's all been destroyed to enlarge the street. It's sad, but we have to look ahead and not repeat the same mistake. Montreal lost a lot, but it had a lot to begin with, so we still have much much more historic buildings than any other city in Canada. And we still have Old Montreal, and that's a blessing.

Keep the Montreal love coming. Fuck I miss my hometown badly, badly, badly.

Lovely shots. Amazing that city hall wasn't replaced by Drapeau for some Corbusier-style Concrete Monolith (a la Palais de Justice)
