This is in my opinion the type of urbanity that defines Montreal. This could almost be anywhere. Villeray, Verdun, Plateau, Mercier, Rosemont.... etc....

Great set of photos. Recognized many buildings. Disappointed that I missed a few.

[MonkeyRonin]

Amazing. Groovy summer Montreal is best, but genteel autumn Montreal is nice too.

Love this house. Anyone knows where it's located? I don't recognize the reno in the background...

Buddy moved to VAN years ago and became a DJ. Warmed my heart this week, though.

Looks like the suburbs of Stalingrad The lot of them together are just as bad as the Rooms.

Love the other fog pics though... all in pretty working class neighborhoods, by the looks of the buildings.

[SignalHillHiker]

Yes, that's correct. Most of those areas are rentals, even. However, this one:

https://c4.staticflickr.com/6/5324/31028501875_6a6e6a7a8f_b.jpg

Is mostly owner-lived in and houses on that street generally get 500K at least.

*****

As for Stalingrad, yeah. St. John's has always had the unfortunate condition of not giving a 🞵🞵🞵🞵 what the city looks like from the water. That's the backside for us. It's always been the backs of buildings because of the hills. It'd be different if we had terraces with buildings only on one side, facing out to the water, but almost all of our streets have buildings on both sides, and the next street is far enough downhill that all you can see from the water is the backside of the buildings on the street above. Generally unattractive.

Those buildings below the glass one, the plain concrete ones. On the other side, they look like this:



The one on the left is the main beige building basically centered in that photo you quoted.

Lots of terrific Toronto and Montreal goodness on the last few pages.

I wonder if Toronto will ever put the hydro wires underground? Would it completely change the aesthetic of the city, to the point where it would be unrecognizable? Would people protest? Where would you hang your shoes?

I think it's tough to make aerial skyline shots look good, but this one is awesome. Why is that? Is this one shot through a softer, more muted lens? Or something? Those reams of skyline pics Chad posted in a hissy fit on another thread were harsh and bleak (not just Calgary, all of them). But this one makes you want to reach out and pluck the individual buildings off of the grid like Legos and put them in your mouth (if you had an oral fetish or something, not suggesting I do or anything, though not suggesting there's anything wrong with that, and not suggesting I'm in denial, and not meaning this to sound too suggestive...).

I've seen transformers lurking in the wilds of Mississauga, and I wouldn't be surprised if they venture out to Lake Shore now and again. If they ever make it downtown we're all screwed.

Montreal. Is. Stunning.

[Martin Mtl]

Great set of pics MonkeyRonin. Thanks for sharing this eye candy.

[SignalHillHiker]

Martin, the sense of scale in this one is very impressive. It'd make a great large print, if the quality was high enough.

And possibly Buddhist. He was a Zen monk for a bit. Don't know if he kept that up at all though.

It's reminiscent of Balkan towns in that before photo, seriously. Look up 1800s pictures from anywhere from Sarajevo to Sofia and it looks like that. Impressive! I love that architecture with the gated courtyards.
