Wow that's an old picture, the CCE towers aren't up yet so before 2000.

This is a view from the Marriott Hotel. I shiver at the thought of this same view prior to the existence of the 1250. Also, just imagine the pathetic views of urban decline guests at that (4 star) enjoyed throughout its history. To the south: the rail yards and derelict industries of Griffintown. To the north-west: a sea of parking lots along the city's premier business artery, to the east: empty lots, Central Station and Place Bonaventure. Lovely.
