I've been going to Montreal once or twice a year, for probably 20 years. Last time I thought .. this might be the last time. Campus was the only club I cared about. St. Hubert restaurant being closed is SO sad. Ate there every night. In part due to a bartender I had a crush on. Guess it's time to move on.

Unfortunately, there's nowhere to move on to -- Montreal's strip clubs were the paragon for decades.

Bozo was in Montreal in August. The good news is that there is now an expected completion date for the express train (REM) from YUL to downtown Montreal. It's December, 2027. Bozo hopes it is as user-friendly as the recently completed Union-Pearson Express train in Toronto. The 747 bus that Bozo now uses is pretty unreliable.

The bad news is that a lot of the business owners on Rue Ste. Catherine West are dreading the upcoming massive multi-year construction project that will tear apart the sidewalks in front of their restaurants and shops. Though when it's finished, Rue Ste Catherine in the Village will be a year-round pedestrian zone.
If anyone thinks that the gay village is dying now, just wait till next year. It will look like a ghost town.
