St-Denis Fire Destroys L'Barouf, Le ContinentalPosted 23/Jul/2007 23:00:00 by Slavito As I am typing this, a serious fire is still raging on rue St-Denis, destroying what's left of two highly respected establishments of Montreal's dining and nightlife scene, respectively. The unfortunate victims are L'Barouf bar and Le Continental restaurant. The fire started shortly after 7pm at a nearby store and quickly consumed the entire building. The smoke was visible from a few miles away (I noticed it while biking along Lachine canal near Atwater). M9-I Update: Residents Moving InPosted 12/Jul/2007 13:00:00 by Slavito Late June was the delivery date for M9 condos (phase I) and it seems that the developers... well, delivered. I walked by the building in the evening and could clearly see that quite a few apartments are now occupied (my guesstimate would be around 30%-40%) with residents arranging their belongings and enjoying all five of their brand-new kitchen appliances. I was a bit surprised at how bright the light accents on the Prince Street side turned out to be (see photo), but I guess that was part of the deal. McGill Ouest - Phase II updatePosted 11/Jul/2007 00:11:00 by Slavito I recently walked by the construction site of McGill Ouest - Phase II. It seems that they're about half way through in terms of floors - five have been built (only the skeleton, no walls or exterior panels). The building itself, located at the corner of William and King, is practically a mirror image of the Phase I, except apartment layouts will be different.

At least its resale (secondary) component does. The average price of a condo changing hands on the island is now $234,000...

We Montrealers enjoy our home-grown locales. Café Utopik is such a place that seems to thrive on its independent situation...

I turn my head every time I hear my native language and I am definitely guilty of buying overpriced Mexican groceries (jalapeños, frijoles, tortillas, etc.) from those little depanneurs on St-Lawrence. (I am not complaining, though, as I would die without my jalapeños!...) Thus, it didn't take me long to notice a small café called Café Rico, on Rachel street (corner of Boyer).

Avenue du Parc To Change NamePosted 25/Oct/2006 02:30:00 by Gromco You may have heard it on the news - if the city administration has its way, Avenue du Parc will soon change its name to Boulevard Robert Bourassa...
