Frigging heavy snowfall warning for tonight and tomorrow here in Montreal. 15 to 20 cm. Shit. Let's have some spring so I can do a little sightseeing and stuff. I've been in Montreal for 3 weeks and I haven't seen anything except the Stade Olympique. And that's only cuz I live half a mile away.

he he.
Montrealers, let's make him a list of places to see.
- belvedère over the mountain
- tango in the park, every summer Sunday, park St-Viateur, Outremont.

- a tour of our 768,567,234 1/3rd churches
- old Montreal (a tourist trap area, but nice to look at)
- OkaPulco (the nude beach at Oka) [puke puke]
- Laurentian Mountains area (lower area).
- come second week of september, the autumn coat of the Laurentians forests is impressive
- rue St-Denis on any warm summer night
- Grand Prix Formula One on Ile Notre-Dame (I think, second saturday or sunday of June)
- nice walk on Notre Dame, from St-Laurent to the Turcot interchange, past Atwater. Note the landscape change. he he.
You have to like the slums.
- a walk through the Cote des Neige Cemetary, starting at Cote Des Neige entrance (near metro Cote des Neige), up to the mountain, across Beaver lake, up to the belvedere, and down the stairs near McGill street, then, a good meal downtown (you'll end up on Ste-Catherine). Have a great steak at L'Entrecote St-Jean.
- 5-7 at Hotel de la Montagne. It connects with the Thursdays, via an underground passage. There is a pool on the top of the hotel, a pick-up place for high-end prostitutes. The, there's always the Thursday...
- a weird place that is worth visiting, very surprizing, is the old Habitat 67 on Ile Notre-Dame. You get there via Pont de la Concorde I think.
Get on any terasses of this quite special building and have a view of Montreal. You'll get a postcard view. Very surprizing. And the building itself is amazing. From afar, it looks like a pile of cubes, but when you're in it, the view is surprizing. Nobody sees their neighboors. An amazing feat of geometry and architecture.
- rollerblade or bike on the bike path along the Lachine Canal into the old port. Great lookout for the local babes.
- If you like nineteen century industrial buildings, go mosey around south of St-Jacques and west of McGill st.
- if you like aviation, homebuilts and small airplanes, St-Lazare private airport, Cooper Aviation, is a good spot.
