  1. Beaucoups plus des arbres avant!

  2. C’est ce qui arrive quand on creuse une autoroute en plein coeur de la ville.

  3. C’est drole comment tout change, sauf les Églises, eux elle sont tout le temps la. Faut faire de quoi ;)

  4. Le clocher est différent puisqu’il fut détruit par un incendie en 1922. Cette flèche sera reconstruite avec le projet du CHUM.

  5. That’s the little Viger Park given by Louis-Joseph Papineau to the city in 1818, and that the CHUM wants to clear to build its superhospital.

    See http://www.cyberpresse.ca/opinions/editorialistes/andre-pratte/200810/09/01-27987-le-chum-en-otage.php

    I’m not sure what will happen with it. Does anyone know if the family and the city came to an agreement?
    It wouldn’t matter so much if Viger Square, across the street, wasn’t 99% cement. I don’t know who decided to pave that whole block, but why why why…?

    That white building across the street from the church houses St-Luc hospital offices and their travel clinic, but were the first headquarters of the CSN, back in the day.
