These exterior staircases make a street dance, there are visual rhythms along otherwise dull avenues, there is an interaction amongst neighbors that wouldn’t happen with interior staircases, all part of that wonderful streetscene that Jane Jacobs so accurately described… Spiral Staircases in Verdun “Under the seeming disorder of the old

Nothing like ’98 but still there are people without power, treacherous walking and driving conditions. Nature at it’s finest, cold, brutal, beautiful. The nets on the balconies to prevent pigeons from roosting take a beating in an ice storm
Continue readingArt Threat: What does the word Polytechnique mean to you? – a review of The Anorak
The Anorak, written and performed by Adam Kelly Morton, goes beyond the pat answers and media sensationalism around the Polytechnique massacre and examines what made Marc Lépine a killer. Exceptionally well-researched, Morton’s text looks critically at the myriad factors that anti-feminists have attempted to derail the public discourse with, from

The old bowling alley on De l’Eglise was turned into condos a few years ago and these people appear to have really nice big galdrys (balconies) and while the view is only of a small dull part of Galt avenue, they do have tons of space in front of them

So the joke on the street last week was that if these folks are strolling around town then maybe Verdun really is becoming the “Next Plateau.” Always nice to think that someone, who isn’t selling something, may have a favorable opinion of your ‘hood. Still I recall in the mid
