« There is an other energy to Montreal, one perhaps akin to pre dot com San Francisco. If San Francisco had a breed of French refinement and vicious colonial streak… This is a city the French populated by fur trappers, mercenaries and branded whores. […]
What’s new (and perhaps fleeing) Montreal is the creative charge. Like San Francisco, the city is open to new ideas, quality control optional. Unlike San Francisco though, the city is cheap. Dirt cheap lofts sit a 15 minute walk from the prime central streets. Apparently at -40 below this hood is way too far from public transit. But then again the whole city apparently hibernates for 5 months. I don’t anticipate a winter visit. »
