Great set of pictures. I will be there at the end of the month and I cannot wait! It will be my first time visiting, can you reccomend any good spots/sights that only locals would know about?I want to party. Any tips would be much appreciated.

Surrealplaces · #4 Posted **Oct 11, 2007, 11:58 PM**

Fantastic pics as usual Kilgore!

Serge · #5 Posted **Oct 12, 2007, 12:29 AM**

Beautiful...

A bit larger would be so nice and appreciated... forget this size please.
I would probably spend 2X more time on the thread to appreciate the little details of each photo.

Thank'S Kilgore

Serge, I normally would post these photos in larger sizes, but the application I use to post them from Flickr, quickr pickr, is no longer able to retrieve the photos in their largest format. I have no idea why. I guess I could copy-and-paste each photo location myself but that will take a bit of time.

There's tons to do. In terms of neighbourhoods, be sure to explore downtown but also check out the whole Plateau, Mile End and the area around the Jean Talon Market. Those are must-see. If you message me I can give you more specific neighbourhood information.

For bars and restaurants, buy a copy of "Resto a go-go" or "Cheap Thrills" when you're in town. Also pick up the two English alt-weeklies (local equivalents to the Georgia Straight), the Mirror and Hour, for information on shows and other goings-on. They're also available online at hour.ca and montrealmirror.com.

Now this is my kind of photo, beautifuly framed, makes you wanna know all about that fucking chair. As always Kill, great set, for a Calgary boy, you got along pretty well in these past few years!

Montreal is such an amazing city. You capture it so well. I'll be there for the jazz festival next summer. Have you ever attended Kilgore?

Kilgore Trout · #9 Posted **Oct 13, 2007, 7:12 PM**

as per serge's request, i've replaced all of the 500 pixel photos with much larger 800 pixel ones. i hope you enjoy...

hackunion · #10 Posted **Oct 13, 2007, 7:43 PM**

Yes! Much better.

Serge · #11 Posted **Oct 14, 2007, 2:23 PM**

Re-visited. Thank's Chris.

Year after year... better and better.
This is a mess of beauty.

And this...

reminds me a bit of Albany NY

keninhalifax · #12 Posted **Oct 14, 2007, 2:36 PM**

Goodness, Chris, you've really outdone yourself this time. You bring out the nooks and crannies of your city.

niwell · #13 Posted **Oct 14, 2007, 2:59 PM**

Wow... I really feel the need to visit Montreal again now. It's been too long.

boden · #14 Posted **Oct 15, 2007, 9:47 PM**

Excellent! The larger pics are infinitely preferable to the smaller ones!
This is my favorite.............

Wheelingman04 · #15 Posted **Oct 17, 2007, 12:17 AM**

What a great city to live in. Maybe in another lifetime.

Kingofthehill · #16 Posted **Dec 25, 2008, 9:03 AM**

This is hardcore urbanity right here.

Arseniq33 · #17 Posted **Dec 28, 2008, 4:38 PM**

Awesome Thread!
According to Lonely Planet : "Cities like Montreal don't happen very often".

(You should include some pictures of the Cegep du Vieux-Montreal in your Latin Quarter part, it would be awesome!)

Incidentally, that sad-looking little Victorian rowhouse is home to an excellent Szechuan restaurant on the second floor.

Great set! Hochelaga & Maisonneuve always come up with such surprising treasures...

GerardInMTL · #19 Posted **Jan 18, 2009, 12:04 AM**

Wooster · #20 Posted **Jan 18, 2009, 12:20 AM**
