Montreal is funny city

So here's the deal about Montreal: Saint Catherin’s Street in Montreal is a lot like Michigan Ave in Chicago. It is where all of the neat stores are at, but it has more hip, lower profile nook stores, and tons of great restaurants. The stores have all of the fashions that the teens and 20 something’s wear. There are Thai, Vietnamese, East Indian, French, Italian, Japanese, and all other kinds of great restaurants. It is hustling and bustling with all kinds of people: whites, blacks, Asian, Latino, middle eastern, and Indian - they are all hip, slick, and attractive.

Here’s where things get weird: about every block, or every other block there is a nudy bar. It is jarring, the is so much beauty, youth, and vitality marred by the tackiness of adult entertainment. Only in Montreal, I suppose.

Later,
