Love the old photos but they’re even better when accompanied with a current shot (i.e. “ Then” & “Now”).
Thanks

The earlier shot looks way, way more interesting than the present day shot.

The first shot is much more interesting, partly because it has a greater variety of colors (as well as more gaudy signage), while the second shot is mostly shades of brown and grey.

Montreal had a mid-century clutter that it doesn't have anymore. It's true of all cities, but somehow especially true of Mtl.
