If it were a jar of jelly-beans, it would have a certain appeal, but as a logo to sell Montreal to the world, it leaves a lot to be desired. Gazette readers were unimpressed. Some of the comments the newspaper received: "Do we want to be known as the city of clowns?"; "Total waste of money and garbage logo"; "I thought my neighbour's cat puked on my paper again this morning." There was one dissenting voice, Colin, who called it a "very friendly logo, youthful, conveying potential, and it's unpretentious, true to itself." http://network.nationalpost.com/np/blogs/posted/archive/2008/10/29/montreal-s-half-million-dollar-logo.aspx <strong><em> $487,000 I'd like to get in on that stupidity, YIKES</em></strong> <strong><em> hahahahahaha HF&RV</em></strong>les__f MSNhttp://msn-les__f.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6464100720604662734.post-35614356633605505932008-11-10T16:23:00.000-08:002008-11-10T16:23:00.000-08:00Lad, Re logo, I don't know but I will let you ...Lad, Re logo, I don't know but I will let you know if I find out.

Since things are quiet I thought I would reprint this photo showing a City of Verdun maintenance truck watering a flower box on the Galt ave. bridge. Notice the Verdun city version of the Canadarm. The driver does'nt have to get out of the cabin, pick up the hose, open the valve, water the flowers, close the valve, hook up the hose, open the door and enter the cabin, all is done by pushing buttons.

A 3600 mm pipe was installed from the plant to the river and this is probably the one you played on.

I recall that at one time the bridge had a pipe along the other side that we used to climb along. It certainly looks like there has been significant improvements in recent years. I might check it out this weekend when Karen and I are in town for the Generation Gap revival. Gord Gibbons Brampton, Ontario gorderic MSNhttp://msn-gorderic.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.com
