Baseball announcement coming
So an announcement about the return of baseball is said to be imminent after the Tampa Bay team has agreed to hang up a sign about Montreal.
I suspect they may be waiting to see who’s elected mayor. If it’s Coderre, the Peel Basin will turn into a baseball area with other bread-and-circuses features to the greater glory of King Denis. If it’s Plante, it’s a lot less likely.

This will fit right in with giving the Canadiens half a million to paint a mural to convince office workers to come back downtown.

Which mural, Kevin? (And thanks for indirectly reminding me to post about the Riopelle mural being planned downtown as well.)

On Friday the provincial government and the chamber of Commerce announced a multimillion dollar plan to encourage workers to return to downtown Montreal.
This included a mural on the side of the bell centre , interactive full body video games run by moment factory at the Eaton centre, but thankfully no clowns

Oh yes, I would want to go downtown and sit in an office for eight hours a day because there’s a new mural.
