counter craft: Maille à Part →

lol. This is why Quebec is a great society - a place where people think they are rebellious because they crochet. In fact, not just rebellious but countercultural. I hate to break it to them, but decorating street furniture in a non-damaging way is probably not illegal - at worst it’s littering. counter-craft: Maille à Part is a yarnbombing collective based in Montreal. “Our artistic...

Ramble Unlimited: The Adirondack Express to... →

This to me sounds like a perfect first evening in Montreal. If you’ve been on vacation to Montreal, how did you spend your first night? rambleunlimited: My expedition to the Great White North would follow a fairly predictable pattern—mellow to extreme enjoyment followed or even accompanied by bitter disappointment or mediocrity. The first salvo of the trip wouldn’t fail to disappoint. Train...

Anonymous asked: I will be vacationing in Montreal for the first time this year, which I am ecstatic about. What are your recommendations for things a first time traveler to Montreal must do?

Definitely not the Paris of North America

One cultural community in Montreal is so obvious that it’s hard to make out - migrants from France. No, this isn’t another hackneyed article about the “Paris of North America” (pass me a bucket) or an overwrought guide for les fraîchement débarqués. We’re definitely not going to get into the interminable, repetitive and boring discussion about language differences....

Morocco's Versailles was at Montreal →

According to Expolounge there was a large cupola in the center of Morocco’s Pavillon at Expo67. “It featured 2 luminous dioramas, complete with life-sized mannequins in traditional costume. One display showed the southern village of Tinerhir while the other featured the imperial city of Meknès, known as The Versailles of Morocco,” writes blogger and Montreal style guru Jason...

All this and more on Thursday

Do you remember the chick who paid $10,000 for invisible art, the woman who did one hundred jobs, or that yellow page mountain activist? WELL she is all the same person - Aimee Davison - AND she’s my friend (not just on Facebook!) Wait, that’s not all - she is having a social media get together on the 9th - this Thursday at Notman House, 51 Sherbrooke Ouest at 6 p.m. Tickets are $10...

This article also exists in English Ces Français qui débarquent au Québec ; une communauté culturelle des plus invisibles, malgré l’évidence de sa présence. On ne soulignera pas ici les qualités de Vieux-Montréal qui incitent les professionnels du tourisme à évoquer le Vieux-Continent, on ne préparera pas non plus un énième guide d’intégration pour les fraîchement débarqués orné...

Everything you need to know about Black History... →

Super interesting and insightful article by Richard Burnett in the Montreal Gazette - he titled it “Black History Month” but it gives you a glimpse of three centuries of an often overlooked community of Quebeckers.
