Each Monday, we bring you some of the popular posts from our sister blog, Spacing Montreal. We’ll keep an eye open for topics and discussions that are pertinent to current public space issues in Toronto.
• Following Spacing Montreal’s vibrant discussion surrounding the somewhat banal east-facing wall of the Palais de Justice, Jacob Larson looks at how bloggers’ comments have been taken to heart by a PhD student of architecture in her makeover proposal.
• Alanah Hefez looks at an example of bizarre law-enforcement in Montreal, where police broke up the gardening activities of a group of gardeners named Sprout Out Loud! This collective of rogue gardeners have been tending an abandoned corner of Maguire Meadow in Mile End for two years.
• Andrew Emond goes underground as he takes us inside Montreal’s former water intake conduit (pictured above) in the sequel to his first waterworks article on the Aquaduct.
