It ain't good.

On the origins and consequences of the destruction of architecture and urbanism, the suburban sprawl in Montreal:

Unavailable to those outside Canada

only one solution. I've gotta go to Canada to watch it!

It’s super interesting + depressing. Definitely worth coming to Montreal to watch in a Mutek-hangover haze in yr plateau airbnb as the gentrification implodes around you.

Please don't come to Montreal. If you do, stay in a properly zoned hotel downtown. Please don't come to my local and ask for sangria by the glass or ask "do you have any sour beers." Don't go to Mutek, don't come near me, stay the fuck away from the Jean-Talon market or I'll fucking hit you.

someone hasn't been reading any of my posts ever

I was the one who introduced sour beers to montreal

You fucking parasite, you must leave

i'm in des moines

you can sleep peacefully for now, although my recent decision to concentrate on a different destination... well, spite is a motivator, salmon person

Fields of salmon speaks for himself/herself.

yeah heck that dude you can stay in my roommates room he's on vacation and hasn't paid me rent in 3 months

I'll be visiting for Labor Day weekend!!! It's been way too long.

I thought about going for the aforementioned festival again but opted against it because, idk, I just need some unstructured time to do absolutely nothing and loaf away from town. How long's your roommate on vacay, Will? :)

Unstructured time to do absolutely nothing should be guaranteed by society.

haha i think until the end of august? idk he's been cagey about it (this is the thread where i complain about my roomie now apparently lol, v montreal)

Please continue to avoid Montreal during peak times. For booking your visits, consider November, a month in which your visit will be considered respectful, rather than simply being another piece of clutter in a world already dying because of plastic that can't break down in the ocean. Don't like dolphins? Got it.

Someone other than fields of salmon : what's the earliest in the year I can go to Montreal and it be pleasant out? Wikipedia seems to suggest June

The end of May is usually quite pleasant, though two years ago it snowed on May 6 so June makes sense as an absolutely safe bet.

yeah june is the safe bet

Thank you

Have you tried a sour beer? Have you trieeeed a soooooour beeeer? You should look for them. They're apparently really critical recently, so you should ask people who are working to earn university degrees that you already have or are earning about sour beers! Good luck!

Do you have any sour beers

I'm more a natural wine guy

Where to stay in Montreal if I probably want to be in mile end plateau little italy, dont really want to airbnb, dont have high standards?

https://casadelpopolo.com/pensione-popolo/
https://hotelcastleruins.com/
there's also an apartment owned by/above the restaurant La Khaima (on airbnb i think) that seems ok

also heard good things about Chez Maggie Maguire, a b and b that doesn't have a website (though i wonder if it's closed?)

there’s a p nice auberge on carré st louis

just get an airbnb in milend tho

Thanks for the suggestions

i believe there are a few (earth, not air) bnbs on st hubert btwn maisonneuve and ontario, which are supposed to be quite nice, it's south of plateau and mile end and etc, but also a short walk to the metro

I will be monitoring all of your IP addresses. If any of you use keywords that indicate you might come north of the tracks I will dispatch a bunch of angry bees and wasps I have been hiding in a tent-like structure in my back garden.

you want people to avoid coming to your city with all of the fervor of someone who has lived here for approximately 4 years. it is impressive

can't believe people are now building their own artisan-quality tent-like structures instead of just buying tents

googling "north of the tracks" "montreal", looking for airbnbs in villeray

thinking about sour beers

the best part is that fields of salmon posts like an angry old man and we’re youth wandering around doing youthful distasteful things and he’s like a year older than me at most

Fields, which part of Montreal you from?

I have never heard anyone refering to any place as ‘north of the train tracks’ in my 20 years here. Which train tracks? There are 3 tracks that go east-west across the island.

Maybe this whole time Fields was a senior living in VMR who sure hates the sight of youngsters hanging around Canora station.

I assume he's referring to Mile Ex.

xp

"do you have any sour beers" is usually my first question on entering any soi-disant craft beer pub. i won't come to montreal

Ask if they have 'de la bière sûre' and fields of salmon will have no choice but to relent.

having read his posts itt i'm genuinely concerned fields of salmon might be a member of gy!be

I doubt a member of gy!be would live in the plateau during the peak horribleness years.

going to be wandering progressively north on the plateau next week hollering about sour beers fyi
