A fresh dose of the local market. Three times a week.
I find it so intriguing how a place can get such mixed reviews, guess I'm lucky because I have never been disappointed at Greasy Spoon. It has all the qualities a hot spot needs: great vibe, rustic decor, tasteful spin on comfort food and of course, its welcoming terrace. LOVE the inside of this joint, with its impressively long wooden bar, comfortable leather upholstered chairs and random … [Read more...]
Finally, the burned down building over at St Laurent and Ave de Pins it's beings getting restored. It's been a few years since the building was shut-down due to a fire and without any signs of future renovations. It remained abandoned for the longest time. Doors closed, windows boarded up. You would think that being located at such a great corner [ St Laurence and Des Pins], someone will … [Read more...]
Photo: Deya Bautista Although still unfinished, this mural looks better ad better every time I see it. The artist works on a 3D effect rendering.

I was walking driving all over town yesterday. I managed to take some wintery … [Read more...]
(Chez Bobette on Rue Duluth, just east of Rue St Hubert) This laundromat saved my life. Ok, maybe it didn’t go as far as saving my life. But I have to share with you this wonderful service, specially if you live in the plateau and you’re too busy to take care of your own clothes. Yes, one can be that busy. Back in the day when I had just started in real estate, I had another job (yes, two!) … [Read more...]
Back in April, I took some pictures of The Main between Sherbrooke and Pins, and I noticed the abundance of empty office/store spaces in the area. Clothing stores like American Apparel, and the infamous MAC cosmetics store are now gone.(The horror!) The Shed Cafe has been replaced by McGibbings Pub (double horror), and a few of quebec-designer boutiques have vanished from the … [Read more...]
