MONTREAL : No downtown photos (OK, maybe 4-5)

-AX- · #1 Posted **Jul 7, 2007, 8:13 PM**

So I went to Montreal last week and for the first time, I visited ohter places than downtown!

Enjoy!

Let's start the visit in Verdun

A concrete monster, Turcot interchange, which will be demolished soon...

A more attractive part of Montreal : Pointe-Claire, followed by Baie d'Urfé and Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue

It couldn't last : Welcome to St-Henri neighbourhood

Now, the only place in this thread that is not on Montreal Island : La Prairie

Back in Mtl, we are in Hoclelage-Maisonneuve

Photos taken near Namur and Plamondon stations

A few photos of Outremont aka jungle city

Mile-End and le Plateau

Short stop in Downtown at the end of the day

PANORAMA -------------------------------->>

That's it! Thanks for watching!

Excellent set of photos

Gahhh!

Wow.

Toutes les photos sont belles, mais les dernières... et LA dernière... ma préféré. Nice!

niwell · #7 Posted **Jul 8, 2007, 5:20 AM**

Amazing stuff!

Is Turcot being torn down? I hadn't heard anything, but I'd hope so, as it seems to be crumbling apart anyway!

Also, were some of the photos near the end showing old industrial textile buildings near Casgrain in Mile End? They look very much like where a friend used to live across from.

A city where even uglyness can be beautiful, great detailed pictures

btw Turcot has some impressive boldness

PhilippeMtl · #9 Posted **Jul 8, 2007, 12:46 PM**

@ Niwell: Turcot will be put down for a new 1 Milliard $ interchange. It was announced last week.

Nice pics AX! It's nice to see some pics from Laprairie, the old part is pretty.

hehe

Though you opened the door, the dude... I say OK for some thread abour my hometown Trois-Rivieres... But I have such an impressive amount of photos, which one to choose? Anyway, I promise I will put a man on this (probably me)

Niwell : I don't know if those textile buildings are in Mile End, since I don't really know where are the limits of Mile End... Actually it was the first time I visited that part of the city...

I enjoyed very much the last ones! Cheers!

very nicely done. MTL looks almost toy-like in some of those pics, especially the aerial over the plateau.

I like Verdun, Baie d'Urfe, etc. Surprising its not more popular place to live, I could be wrong. More people would enthusiastic about living closer to the St. Lawrence.

Turcot Interchange: Is that the elevated expressways leaving west on HWY 20?

Baie d'urfé is quite a drive from the center: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=4...&t=h&z=15&om=1

verdun is quietly popular. it has actually seen a lot of condo construction in recent years, lots of infill in the neighbourhood and a couple of midrises on the waterfront. of course, it's nothing compared to nun's island, whose skyline has been mushrooming with new highrises.

baie d'urfé consists entirely of big expensive houses on big lots. it's pretty established. if you're looking for a lakeshore neighbourhood that is set to take off, check out old lachine. it's very lovely, there's a new public market, an undervalued main street and an absolutely gorgeous waterfront.
