Village baubles taken down for the last time
It’s the end of the road for the Village baubles. A CBC Facebook post I can’t locate says they were all sold off.

Those things represented a distinct break from one era of that part of Saint Catherine to another – broadly, from the gritty old times of gay clubs, casse-croutes, dollar beer and all the pre-internet shops, to another era of cocktails and other hallmarks of gentrification. The area has moved into a new phase over the past couple years, with the end of most of the gay stuff, significant new housing construction, renovictions, etc, and it seems entirely likely that whatever replaces these balls will fit the new phase of the neighborhood’s life more these relatively old school Montreal things do.

Perhaps the new phase could include cocktail…umbrellas – playful, summery, still gay but not gritty. Could work.
