On our way back from skiing we stopped in Drummondville for the night. Although slightly larger it reminded me very much of Belleville....a no nonsense blue collar town, efficient but not fancy. I immediately liked it!
Here are some pics I took.
Yes, that is snow piled up to the second floor window.
A railway runs right through downtown.
My son, who is looking more like miketoronto ever day.
People rarely venture in the city itself, and if they do, they usually just make a stop at a gas station or a restaurant on their way to Q.C., Montreal, Sherbrooke or Trois-Rivières. That city is for sure strategically positionned. It's the first time I see it too, thanks!
I've heard of Drummondville but have never seen it. Thanks for the tour.

Just an aside, I love how Canadians almost always have crappy, cheap plastic hubcaps on their cars. When buying the same exact models Americans far more often splurge for the shiny alloy upgrades. Also, you would NEVER see late model cars in America that have NO hubcaps whatsoever. In this thread alone I spotted several - that's absolutely unheard of in America!

We don't want to be bothered by hubcaps flying off during high-speed.

That's because we leave them on our 4-seasons tires. We don't bother transferring them to our winter tires.
My grand parents live in the big building that appears on several photos!
