    mylaex reacted to + BOZO T CLOWN in Montréal trip report (and first post)   
    On a totally different note...
    Bozo was in Montreal last weekend. The number of mentally ill homeless wandering around Ste. Catherine between Rue Berri and Papineau has spiraled out of control. As a long-time Montreal visitor, the experience of strolling up and down Ste. Catherine is no longer the pleasant ramble it once was. Sadly, Rue Sainte Catherine looked more like an open-air, third world drug market inhabited by users, dealers, homeless, migrant beggars, and the mentally deranged than the pleasant outdoor pedestrian mall that it once was. This is the worst it has ever been, and the lack of police presence in the area made the experience even scarier.
    Fortunately, Bozo was accompanied by a friend who was a first-time Montreal visitor and we took the opportunity to do some "touristy" things such as hike up Mount-Royal, lunch at Schwartz' Deli, a visit to the Biosphere, Cirque du Soleil, an Alouettes football game,. and a walk around the Plateau district which included sampling the bagels at both St. Viateur and Fairmount Bagels.
