I agree, but it's not only 2 towers.
Only on this pic, you can see Rocabella I, L'Avenue, TDC I, Icone I, Deloitte... Plus the others that just have reached ground level (Yul I, Holiday Inn...)

sorry, that's what I meant.. in the pic, it's two new towers making the impact but you're absolutely right.. there are several. Love seeing the transformation to Montreal's skyline take shape.

What exactly is a Lylac festival and why does it seem to be the can't miss event of the Calgary spring?

Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded.

Really can't wait till the Bell centre cluster is complete, even though it'll take a long time. And with the downtown strategy plan announced today i'm curious what will come out of that. Great times ahead for Montreal tho

You would never know it when you're actually there. At least on the Ontario side. Also since 1759 when Europeans first settled around it it's been a hot bed for industry. In 1895 it saw the worlds first hydro Electric power plant open. If we were to visit it 100 years ago we wouldn't recognize it. It was a heavily industrialized and polluted part of the globe.

This would be beside the Bridle Falls. Posted on : http://www.niagarafrontier.com

The Rockies make a fantastic backdrop, too bad it's hard to get a good picture without some sort of zoom lens.

I love "Then & Now" comparisons.
Didn't there used to be a thread for this ?

Atta boy Koops - keep up the fight.
I love the way you think.
