Montreal Phenomena
There are some interesting things I have observed in Montreal that don't seem as prevalent elsewhere:
a) The Sunny Side. Everyone here walks on the sunny side of the street. I was walking down St. Laurent (on the sunny side, of course) and I looked across to the shady side. There was no one there. Strange, as it's a busy street. Then I looked ahead and the sunny side was packed with people.
b) Sex cinemas in the middle of ordinary commercial districts. I keep an eye on the one near my work. This week's feature "Slow Burn". I think they've recently brought out their collection of films from the '80s...interesting photographs...
c) Psychotic Pedestrians. Most cities are known for their crazy drivers. Not here. The people who walk the streets of Montreal are crazy! They will walk in front of your car, so beware!
