I'd be curious to know what K-line thinks as she's spent a fair bit of time in Montreal and perhaps has been to SF as well.<br />Metscan: I absolutely agree with you! Old and new should be able to enhance each other.materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-15991164280661404272010-05-31T08:52:14.189-07:002010-05-31T08:52:14.189-07:00I love the image of the blue building in the leafy...I love the image of the blue building in the leafy neighbourhood, it has a quaint Frenchness...<br />I agree with Deja Pseu about the SF similarity.hostess of the humble bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453827257671312902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-12213170765283980182010-05-31T07:48:47.070-07:002010-05-31T07:48:47.070-07:00Oh, continuing my serious Montreal envy, but I can...Oh, continuing my serious Montreal envy, but I can see how it does look like SF a bit too.

I want the old ones to be fixed too and then I´d like to place these new buildings in mix with the old ones. I´m i-designing here too ; )mettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732534795009852825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-41948659677674626112010-05-30T20:36:10.790-07:002010-05-30T20:36:10.790-07:00Yes, I agree, I see that Montreal does look like S...Yes, I agree, I see that Montreal does look like SF.

(when I did I was with my husband who was staying in the Chateau Frontenac for business -- so that was pretty great!) I have to say that compared to Mtl, I found it a bit Disney-fied or something, but I'd love to go back for another look. There's a fabulous gallery of Inuit art there -- and I bought a favourite pair of shoes there that I still love to wear.<br />Tiffany: Well, if you ever get here, you know you're welcome <i>chez moi</i>. But there's a long way between my place and Mtl!materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-31107939998173628922010-05-30T17:19:32.593-07:002010-05-30T17:19:32.593-07:00Wow, isn't it pretty!
