Eh, the thread goes where it goes.
If I had to drive a point, or a direction, maybe something that Montreal lost or gained that really made Montreal more itself in a personal sense might be apropos.
The 1950s and early 1960s pictures on the commercial-street level aren't Montreal. Oh, they're in the same location, yes, but they're too Anglo - the signage is all wrong. It's the 1970s-1990s pictures that give the city its sense of place; the city fit its people. Even Super Sexe.
Which brings up a question: Is the generic-ization of Canadian cities a cause or effect?
