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.
• Timea Jakab provides a peak into Montreal’s Habitat ’67 surfing culture. Following an article in The New York Times exploring the scene, Jakab brings us a more local perspective on the surf etiquette and good times to go.
• Guest writer Mary Soderstrom, author of The Walkable City: From Haussman’s boulevards to Jane Jacobs’ Streets and Beyond, describes the many independent bookstores in the Mile End neighbourhood and the kind of built environment that encourages a good book store culture.
• There’s nothing remarkable about the outside of Home Canning Enr. aside from its bright green doors. Inside, however, is an entirely different story, as Bethany Or discovers an old canning and preserving shop where little has changed in almost one hundred years.
