Plaza St-Hubert: Street fair between construction
This weekend and the two weekends following will see street fairs on Plaza St-Hubert now that the northern half of the major excavation and construction is, if not aesthetically completed, at least filled in, and the southern half, between St-Zotique and Bellechasse, not yet begun.

I walked along the northern part of the Plaza yesterday during the sidewalk sale and it has an interesting feel. The mix of the neglected building facades with cheap and plentiful signs, lack of trees, down-scale businesses, and general bustle and music (along with lots of dust) really reminded me of some commercial streets on weekends in South America. I recommend going while it’s happening if only because it’s never going to look or feel like this again.

Thanks, CE. I’ll probably pop along there tomorrow.
