  1. wow … that angle is one I haven’t seen before. That Imperial Life building is so charming and interesting. Reminiscent of a building one may find in Picadilly Circus.

  2. This has been said before, but roads were so much better back then. I know cold and snow removal and stuff damages the pavement, but if my calculation is not wrong, most major streets in Montreal have not been repaved (only patched) in about 40 years. Someone told me once in some northern US cities, they don’t even wait 5 years before repaving some busy streets. Is this true? Anyone knows what is the average time (in an average city) they wait to repave streets? Toronto streets for example are much better than Montreal’s. Is it because they use a better more expensive asphalt or because they repave more often?

  3. Maybe broken shocks will make drivers take public transit, as they damn well should, the polluters!

    But I do love those sheer buildings. Out with character — we need knife edges that cut!!!
