It&#8217;s an interactive, Flash-based guide to the history of Montreal&#8217;s neighbourhoods, with enough chronologies, maps and videos to keep you distracted for at least an hour or two. <\/p>\n<p>Currently, thirteen districts are covered: Ste. Anne de Bellevue, Old Lachine, Point St. Charles, St. Henri, downtown, the Golden Square Mile, the Latin Quarter, Lafontaine Park, C\u00f4te des Neiges, Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, the Petite Patrie, Little Italy and Sault-au-R\u00e9collet.<\/p>\n<p>As much fun as it is to play with, I have some qualms about the site. There&#8217;s plenty of information, but it still feels incomplete, lacking both depth and breadth. There needs to be more than just the obvious facts about each neighbourhood. For instance, the C\u00f4te des Neiges section covers the area&#8217;s general history, and it points to a few notable sites like the oratory and the university, but it doesn&#8217;t really give you a sense of why C\u00f4te des Neiges evolved as it did. More details are needed about its architecture and urban development, its social history and its relationship with the rest of the city. I&#8217;d like to see some entries on more unconventional attractions, too, like Victoria Avenue or C\u00f4te des Neiges Plaza.<\/p>\n<p>Montr\u00e9al en quartiers definitely needs to cover a broader range of neighbourhoods; right now it&#8217;s just sticking to the standards. It seems like every other guide out there tells us about the same thing about them. Where&#8217;s Griffintown, Park Extension, Mercier, LaSalle &#8212; all of the places we never hear about? <\/p>\n<p>On the whole, it&#8217;s a good start, but hopefully the website will be expanded and updated with more information and even more neighbourhoods. There&#8217;s such a wealth of history in this city, it&#8217;s a bit of a shame to see the same stuff covered over and over again. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been spending part of the afternoon poking around Montr\u00e9al en quartiers, known less memorably in English as Montreal InSite, a new website created by Heritage Montreal and Heritage Canada.
