Zizi pop - Old Montreal

I remember a particular visit to Campus. One of the dancers told me he LOVES older men with gray a bit of a belly. Made me grin. The lap dances were of the charts HOT. Many of them ??

HaHa.

Like many dancers, he sounds like a good salesman.

At most strip clubs around the world, one could be super-morbid obese and straight-up repugnant; however, as long as they have the Benjamins it's all good.

God bless America!

I tend to agree with you. However, Montreal itself started accepting appointments for vaccine for those over 60 today. So things are moving better there than in Ontario, where 75 year-olds and up started today to make appointments.

 

My brother is 75 and got an appointment this morning for mid April and the follow-up shot in early August, to give you an idea of how things are progressing.

Pfizer vaccine "second dose" is 3 weeks apart.

Moderna vaccine "second dose" is 4 weeks apart.

Your brother is getting a second dose nearly 4 months later?

Perhaps Canada has AstraZeneca which is 4-to-12 weeks for second dose?

My mother is 78 and just received her second dose last week in Michigan.

I'm 47 and was vaccinated today. I will receive my second dose in mid-April.

Michigan was relatively late to the game as far as distributing the vaccine; however, everyone over 16 will be eligible for the vaccine beginning April 5.

It appears Pfizer and Moderna are researching the benefits of receiving a "3rd dose" as a booster dose to fight off variants of the virus.

I am becoming less optimistic about travelling to Montreal this summer as international travel looks like one of the last restrictions to be lifted, but will certainly make plans for 2022 as soon as possible as I expect demand for travel to be high.

Exactly.

Even Pattaya Thailand is not expected to "re open" and accept tourists until October/November of this year. That means it won't be back into full swing until the following year/season of November 2022.

As I mentioned earlier, I think Montreal will be back in full swing in May 2022 barring any uncontrollable variant of the virus.

But if you're looking primarily just for local street trade in Montreal, then it might be worth a visit this Summer/Fall.

I'm hoping to attend the annual 4th of July fireworks in Windsor, Ontario in late June if it's held this year.

Hopefully the border will be open by then. Perhaps with proof of vaccination?

Montreal no longer calls it The Gay Village?

I am hoping things just might be back up to speed by July 2021.

I'm thinking 14 months from now around May 2022.

La Banquise on Rachel Street is where it's at 24/7 for Montreal poutine!

I went to the Amir near Crescent and Peel. All the drunk straight boys are there between 2am-4am. Fun times.

I wonder if the A&W joint across Unity is still around?

I'm getting my 2nd dose April 12 and I should be "fully vaccinated" by April 30th.

I wonder when I will be able to drive or fly to Montreal again?

The Canada-U.S. border's been shut down for a year — and there's no reopening plan

CBC News

Resto du Village was open 24/7 back in the day.

It appears the McDonalds went out of business on Ste. Catherine near the old Adonis strip club.

Hopefully it will recover this Summer, if not 2022 for sure.

I would bet Canada keeps its USA border closed into March or something like that. Maybe exceptions with proof of vaccination when that gets widespread enough. We just don’t have our act together yet in the U.S., unfortunately.

It's not just the USA.

Toronto was shut down by Ontario Premier Doug Ford.

Montreal isn't doing much better.

It's a virus. It's worldwide.

Old Montreal has become a Ghost Town compared to my Halloween visit last year.

It costs a lot of money for restaurant to simply "open" and "close." These businesses are already taking a huge hit from being virtually closed the entire year.

"Opening" and "Closing" each time is very expensive, and not simple. For example, restaurants need to hire and coordinate staffing, make sure food is properly stocked, and then re-promote when they're open again, etc.

I don't see how many of these fine dining establishments can survive like this, and with social distancing of only 25% capacity.

Not-to-mention a large segment of their clientele has likely been under employed for a long period of time as well.

And this is largely a global issue affecting the entire world. God help us all.

US / CANADA border closure extended to at least October 21st.

Looks like next May 2021 will be the best opportunity to visit Montreal considering the weather and COVID..

Le Village on June 28, 2020:

Cool. When was the last time you were there?
