A huge thanks to everyone who gave us a shout-out at the Mirror’s Best of Montreal<\/a> – we climbed up to Montreal’s 4th best blog in 2010! The BOM is notoriously a popularity contest (I mean, Tim Hortons takes best coffee?), so what this really means is that our readers are among Montreal’s best (and I’d say the<\/em> best, judging on general comment-quality).<\/p>\n

While we’re on the topic of best blogs, I’ll share a couple of my favourite feeds:<\/p>\n

Montreal City Weblog<\/a> (BOM #8) is an essential service for Montrealers: Kate M links to everything worth reading about Montreal from local media and afar. Plus, we get just a tiny bit of attitude when appropriate.<\/p>\n

Montr\u00e9alit\u00e9s Urbaines<\/a> is a francophone, urban planner’s news-feed. A bit more attitude to reckon with, but Benoit Gratton pulls out what matters from the Ville de Montr\u00e9al’s communiqu\u00e9s, and his radar dosen’t cut off at the banks of the island.<\/p>\n

Luc Ferrandez<\/a>‘s blog is deliciously un<\/em>-politically correct… for a politician (BOM honourable mention in the politician category).<\/p>\n

And yes, I read Fagstein <\/a>(BOM #2). I don’t know why, I just can’t help it.<\/p>\n

I’ve already written about Emergent Urbanism<\/a>, but now Matthieu H\u00e9lie has now created a network so people who are taken with the topic can share their own links.<\/p>\n

Its also kind of cool that the Archives de Montr\u00e9al<\/a> have recently started a blog.<\/p>\n

Urban Photo<\/a> remains a Spacing Montreal soulmate, with many articles by Spacing alumni Christopher DeWolf now writing from Hong Kong, and other writers representing Montreal.<\/p>\n

Outside of the city, I have to say I enjoy almost everything I read on Brand Avenue<\/a>, which goes by the tagline Place, Space and Identity<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Feel free to share other worthwhile links in the comments below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
