Porra!
The site is stronger when it talks aboutcurrent affairs, not when it tokenizes ‘ethnics’. Trust me your random pics of little maghreb and chinatown are not that interesting.
If you guys are going to focus on ethnic restaurants, at least get them right.
this is not moishes, this is casa minhota!
The “Moishe’s” sign is clearly visible in the background, but you’re right that Casa Minhota is directly behind the men. The photo doesn’t focus on either restaurant, however.
I don’t see what this has to do with “ethnics” though and I also don’t see how it tokenizes anybody. It’s a photo of two men talking in front of a restaurant on the Main.
The “photos du jour” is meant to convey scenes of public space in Montreal. If a photo of two men chatting on one of Montreal’s most important streets is not appropriate, what is?
