Most people just vaguely know that there are a bunch of tall buildings down there where something-or-other goes on ... banking or something.

Trust me, if you say to anyonen in Montreal and in most of Quebec that you are working at Place Ville-Marie, they will know exactly where and what that is. Probably not in the rest of Canada though, for sure. Same thing with the Sun Life building and maybe le 1000 De la Gauchetière, those are the three iconic skyscrapers that almost every Montrealers can identify.
