MONTREAL

Pictures from a City in Decline. I don’t know any city where shabbiness and dilapidation
is so admired, glorified and elevated to something charming and picturesque.

A documentary and critic of complacency and aesthetic apathy in Montreal.

Montreal,  Métro stations become underground saunas (The Gazette July 22, 2011)
For a few horrible days every summer, the island bakes as temperatures soar into the mid-30s or higher, and our transit system heats up right along with it. The STM network is, for the most part, not air-conditioned, and to make matters worse, the métro tunnels seem to actually trap the heat - ensuring commuters stay sweltering hot for days after the air above ground has cooled.
