Belmont Park Sights & Sounds

Sights & sounds from Belmont Park,.the only thing missing is the smell of popcorn & cotton candy & all the food cooking (of yea,and trying not to step in gum or puke near the rides--------hahahaha)



..as kids we would walk to Belmont Park (following the known bus route #17 cartierville) we would walk so we could save the çarfare to spend at the park...........yikes ! From Verdun that is a fair jaunt,but just an adventure to us kids,who probably weren't supposed to actually leave Verdun by ourselves.....lol

Montreal in 24hrs.

We all have our favourite foods from Montreal,but as we know from the old Mom & Pop restaurants to fine dining Montreal has it all......and to do a quick 24hrs drinking & stuffing your face,is something we all can realte too when having a visit in our old stomping grounds.Making the plane out with minutes to spare & all that stuff ,is also something I bet most of ex-pats of Montreal have done (several times) Watch this guy have a ball in Montreal (albeit he's doing it on someone elses dime ...which btw: is great if you can do it.lol)  
 The Layover : 24 hrs in Montreal


               ...ahhh the old hangover on the plane...cheers ! HF&RV - LesF

Luc Bourdon did an excellent job utilizing a lot of old NFB film made available to him for this project, If you are from Montreal or ever lived there,then I would have to bet money that you will no doubt be stimulated in that old knoggan of yours of days gone by in Montreal. This is not a short vignette,so grab a coffee (or a real Montrealer would grab a beer....lol) and sit back put the monitor on Full Screen & think back to when you roamed the streets of Montreal.........
