  1. If you want to do a montage idea, there is a nice example of a mid-century-modern upper-middle class house in the middle of the block on Surrey garden (between gordon crescent and summit crescent) in upper westmount that is going to be sold, demolished, and replaced by yet another uber-tacky McMansion in the coming months. The nouveau riche class here in Montreal keep growing their incomes, (unlike the rest of us) , and we all loose, except for those in the tacky mcmansion-building business.

    Oh I forgot, the rich think they are royalty, and therefore need the stone walls of the typical McMansion the complete this delusion.

    Anyway, I think this is a good idea for a montage, and for a change not one where the demolition occurred three generations ago. We need more examples of heritage-building destruction occurring today, and this is one such example.
